Bottle feeding is an essential part of an infant’s nutrition, but prolonged or improper bottle use can lead to serious dental problems, including baby bottle tooth decay (early childhood caries), misalignment, and feeding-related oral issues.
At Tooth Fairy Dental Care, Hyderabad, our pediatric dental specialists provide expert guidance on bottle feeding habits, cavity prevention, and early oral health care. Our dental clinic ensures that your baby’s first teeth develop strong and healthy, setting the foundation for a beautiful smile.
🔹 Baby Bottle Tooth Decay: Frequent exposure to milk, formula, or juice, especially before bedtime, can cause severe cavities in baby teeth.
🔹 Prolonged Bottle Use: Keeping the bottle in the mouth for long hours can lead to misalignment and bite issues.
🔹 Tongue & Lip Ties: Some babies struggle with proper bottle feeding due to oral restrictions, which can impact speech and feeding habits.
🔹 Delayed Tooth Eruption: Improper feeding habits may affect the timing of primary tooth eruption.
At Tooth Fairy Dental Care, we educate parents about the best bottle-feeding practices to prevent oral health issues. Our expert pediatric dentists provide:
✔ Regular dental checkups to monitor early tooth development.
✔ Fluoride treatments & dental sealants for cavity prevention.
✔ Personalized guidance on bottle weaning and transitioning to cups.
✅ Never let your baby sleep with a bottle containing milk, formula, or juice. Use only water if needed.
✅ Wipe gums after feeding with a clean, damp cloth.
✅ Start brushing once the first tooth appears using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
✅ Limit sugary drinks and encourage water or milk in a cup after 12 months.
✅ Schedule the first dental visit at Tooth Fairy Dental Care by age 1.
🔹 What is the safest way to bottle-feed my baby?
Hold the bottle at an angle to prevent pooling of milk around the teeth and ensure your baby doesn’t fall asleep with the bottle.
🔹 When should I transition my baby from a bottle to a cup?
By 12-18 months, babies should start drinking from a sippy cup to reduce the risk of cavities.
