Pediatric Dentistry
In dentistry, we often talk about “baby bottle rot.” What this really means is tooth decay caused by sweet liquids like juices, sodas, and sugary waters (Gatorade, Propel, and others that often fly below the radar). How do we keep our kids teeth cavity free?
A common misconception among parents is that juice and other fruity drinks do not cause cavities. Although juices may be good for children’s bodies by giving them the vitamins they need, the bacteria in the mouth use natural sugars the same as sugar added to food or soda pop.
