Nursing or bottle feeding tooth decay prevention
 

"Dr. Djuric, 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.

For more answers about your baby's dental care call us at (727) 394-0557.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and
during dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still
maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
