Fighting baby bottle tooth decay: Baby bottle tooth decay is caused by frequent and long exposures of an infant's teeth to liquids that contain sugar, like milk (including breast milk), formula, fruit juice, and other sweetened drinks. It can be prevented and treated with simple daily routines. After each feeding, wipe the baby's gums and teeth with a damp washcloth or gauze pad to remove plaque. The easist position is to sit down, place the child's head in your lap or lay the child on the dressing table or the floor. Avoid putting your baby to bed for a nap or at night with a bottle filled with milk or sweetened drinks as this makes it easy for plaque bacteria an opportunity to cause tooth decay. If you must use the bottle as a comforter, fill it with water.
If soda and juice is a must, you must use a straw:
Let's face it, everybody drinks their share of juices and sodas. These are huge factors in contributing to cavities and tooth decay. Our best bet is to reduce the amount of juices and sodas we drink, but we can still prevent dental problems when we do drink our favorite drinks. If possible, brush or rinse your mouth following a sweet beverage or the use of a simple straw can prevent sugars from directly contacting our teeth and thus limiting our risk factor for dental caries.
Brushing and flossing; the right way:
Many cavities and future problems can be prevented through simple routine brushing an flossing. Although many of us do brush, a good number of us fail to recognize the importance of flossing. At 1-2-3 Smile Dental Care, we will demonstrate proper techniques to do both to ensure your next visit is a successful one. Please call us today for an appointment for your next visit!
