What is Nursing Decay or Baby Bottle Tooth decay?
These are all forms of early childhood cavities that result when the child either sleeps with a bottle containing sugary liquids or is allowed to nurse continually. It does not happen in all children and often one sibling will get this while another will not. When it does occur, the cavities may appear suddenly and typically begin on the back side of the upper teeth where it is hard for a parent to see them.
