What causes Early Childhood Caries or Baby Bottle Tooth Decay?
Your child is at risk of cavities when they fall asleep with a bottle filled with juice (or sweetened drinks), milk or formula. At-will nighttime breast-feeding should be avoided after the first baby tooth begins to erupt. Drinking juice and flavored milk from a bottle should be avoided. When juice is offered, it should be in a cup at mealtime.
