Once the teeth begin to appear, one of the most common causes of its appearance is called baby bottle tooth decay caused by frequent contact with milk or juice, especially if you leave the baby with a bottle to bed, using it as a pacifier.

If the baby needs a bottle to use as a pacifier, it is imperative that only contains water. Should never be wet with honey or sugar.

Breastfeeding and baby's teeth:

According to La Leche League International (LLLI), "is normally considered that breastfeeding causes tooth decay, since no distinction is made between the different compositions of breast milk and artificial, and between different mechanisms take it.

The breast, the nipple is located at the end of the oral cavity, preventing the milk teeth fall around, unlike when sucking a nipple.

We need only consider the overwhelming majority of breastfed children with healthy teeth to know that there must be other factors involved. "
Kevin Hale, pediatric dental consultant American Academy of Pediatrics says that "the majority of dentists and nursing mothers do not get along very well because the dentist could not believe the scientific studies showing that" breastfeeding does not contribute to tooth decay .

Although human milk does not cause tooth decay, studies have shown that it can contribute to its development in that small percentage of children in the area at risk (for hereditary reasons, for example).

Diet and dental caries:
The truth is that even though food is one of the factors that weigh in the development of caries, diets can be people who never suffers undesirable, whereas others can eat very well and have serious problems.

But it never hurts to take precautions, so a good brushing, avoid sweets and a balanced diet is crucial.
