"Dr. Janssen, what dental problems could a baby have?"

A baby who has a habit of sleeping with a baby bottle filled with any sugary liquid or a breast in their mouth is at risk of getting BBTD.  Frequent snacking on sweet or sticky foods can also cause decay.

The so-called baby teeth are very important to retain as their early loss will likely result in crowding, TMJ problems and an unattractive smile.  Children with healthy teeth can chew food well, speak clearly and share precious smiles.  Start your child on a lifetime of good dental habits now!
