What are baby bottle cavities?
When the teeth are exposed to sugary fluids for a prolonged period, there can be a rapid advancement of decay. This happens mostly when putting a toddler to bed with a baby bottle. Even liquids like milk or fruit juice have enough sugar to fuel the decay process. This problem is characterized by multiple cavities especially in the front teeth at a very early age. As a rule of thumb, if you are going to put your child to bed with a bottle, only have it filled with water.
