How to prevent tooth decay in your beloved infants
♦ Clean your
child's teeth daily.
♦ Do Not allow your child to fall
asleep with a bottle filled with juice, milk, or formula or other sweet liquids, this may cause baby bottle syndrome. Give your child plain water
when he or she is thirsty and if your child must have a bottle during naps,
only give a bottle filled with cool water.
♦ Always make
sure your child's pacifier is clean and never dip a pacifier in a sweet liquid.
♦ Introduce
children to a cup as they approach 1 year of age.
♦ Make
regular dental appointments for your child beginning when their first tooth
erupts and see the dentist if any unusual red or swollen areas appear in a child's
mouth, or any dark spot is seen on a child's tooth.
