Baby bottle tooth decay, also known as early childhood caries, is a condition where an infant’s or toddler’s teeth develop cavities due to prolonged exposure to sugary liquids, including milk, formula, fruit juice, and even breast milk. This decay often affects the upper front teeth first but can impact other teeth as well if left untreated. At Lifetime Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re here to help you understand baby bottle tooth decay, how to prevent it, and why protecting those tiny teeth is essential for your child’s long-term oral health.

Many parents wonder when it’s time to bring their child to the dentist for the first time.
