Commonly Asked Questions About Your Children's Dental Care...

How can I prevent
tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?
|
| |
Taking your baby off of the breast when she/she falls asleep can
prevent baby tooth decay. Hold your baby while bottle feeding. Always
take a bottle filled with milk or juice away from the sleeping child.
|
If your child requires a bottle at bedtime provide a
bottle filled with water. Instead of a bottle try comforting your
child with a pacifier or a favorite toy or blanket.

Check with your health care provider to make sure
your child is getting the right amount of fluoride. Brush your
baby's teeth with a soft toothbrush daily. |
