Tooth Decay Prevention When Nursing Or Bottle Feeding...

 

"Corporate Center Dental Care, how can I prevent tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?"
  Taking your baby off the breast or bottle when he/she falls asleep can prevent baby tooth decay.  Hold your baby while bottle feeding, do not prop the bottle up.  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 859 223-4644.
