Signs of Baby Bottle Tooth Decay

Do you think your child might be a victim of baby bottle tooth decay? If so, our dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], would like to help you find out. Baby bottle tooth decay is a dental issue that develops when baby teeth are frequently exposed to a sugary liquid. This most often occurs when a child is sent to bed with a bottle. There are many signs that are associated with baby bottle tooth decay, and those signs are:

-White spots on teeth (This is a sign of the early stages)

-Brown or black spots on the teeth

-Bleeding gums or swollen gums

-Fever, swelling or irritability (This could indicate infection)

-Bad breath

If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s best to schedule an appointment with our dentist immediately. The sooner the decay is treated, the better. Some treatments available include fluoride treatments, dental crowns and tooth extraction. The treatment provided will depend on the severity of the decay. Your child will likely be sedated during treatment to help them remain comfortable in the dental chair.
