Paediatric dentistry focuses on dental issues in children. In this regard, preventive dental care in children is very important. Baby bottle rot is decaying of milk teeth as a result of bottle feeding. These cavities occur when sugary drinks such as fruit juice, milk or infant formula remain in the baby’s teeth for extended periods without being cleaned after bottle feeding.

How to Treat Baby Bottle Rot?

In pre-treatment examination, child’s intraoral condition is checked. Then, dentists inform the parents of the treatments to be applied.

Baby bottle rot treatment depends on age and the characteristics of decay. Early diagnosis of a dental problem makes treatment easier. White spots on the surface of the tooth are an early sign of baby bottle rot. At this stage, it can be effective to apply oral fluoride treatment or local fluoride varnish in order to re-mineralise all teeth. In this case, you can stop the progression of caries with a diet free of sugary foods and drinks.

When is the Baby Bottle Rot Treatment Required?

The need of treatment for baby bottle rot can be understood as a result of staining on the front teeth. However, clear information is provided after examination by paediatric dentists.

Who is Ideal Candidate for Treatment?

Treatment can be applied to every child with decay of milk teeth.

When to Eat & Drink Post-Treatment?

It is possible to eat and drink 4 hours after the treatment. Your baby can return to daily life immediately after the treatment.

What Can Be Done To Prevent Baby Bottle Rot?

Stopping to feed your baby with bottles will be an important step in preventing caries. Some of the other measures that can be taken:

• After each meal, you should wipe your child’s gums with a clean, damp gauze pad. This removes food residues from the mouth.
• After the milk teeth erupt, the teeth should be brushed gently using a children’s toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Babies’ gums or teeth should be cleaned before going to sleep.
• Children should be accustomed to drinking from a glass as soon as possible.
• Regular visits to the dentist will be beneficial.

Post-Treatment Process

Since anaesthesia is applied during treatment, no pain is experience during procedure. There may be pain after the treatment. In this case, a painkiller that the doctor deems appropriate can be used.
