Tooth decay prevention when nursing or bottle feeding

"Dr. Carmody, how can I prevent tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?"

Taking your baby off of the breast when he/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.

For more answers about your baby's dental care call us at (877) 639-8920.
