Baby bottle tooth decay is a preventable condition that occurs when your child’s teeth are frequently exposed to sugary liquids, especially during sleep when saliva production decreases. You can protect your child’s smile by starting oral care early, avoiding bedtime bottles with milk or juice, transitioning to a cup by age one, and scheduling regular dental visits starting around their first birthday. At Cool Mountain Kids Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Derek and our team specialize in preventative care that helps Colorado Springs families establish healthy dental habits from the start.
