Commonly Asked Questions Of Dr. Pottorff About Your Child's Dental Care...

 |
"Dr. Pottorff, 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.
