Bottle caries - Decayed baby teeth
 Signs and appearance of teeth displaying bottle caries:
 |
Brown teeth with fragmented edges |
|
|
Upper front teeth that break easily |
Children who have erupted teeth or are past the age to be weaned are highly
susceptible to rotted front teeth when being put to bed with a bottle
containing milk, juice or other sugar-containing liquids. There is
decreased salivary flow during sleep and clearance of the liquid from
the teeth is slowed. Call us at
