Commonly Asked Questions About Your Children's Dental Care...
 How
can I prevent tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?
Taking your baby off of the breast when he/she falls asleep can
prevent baby tooth decay. Hold your baby while bottle feeding.
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.
