A very common dental issue encountered in infants is Baby Bottle Tooth Decay, which results in the rapid decay of baby teeth of an infant. It mostly affects the upper front teeth and they tend to erupt at first. It is generally caused by regular exposure of teeth to sugar-containing liquids.

Brown spots along the gums are the initial symptom of tooth decay. Parents must visit pediatric dentists for treatment on early detection of the problem to avoid serious damage. That time when tooth decay is visible it is too late, pulp therapy, crowning, or even tooth extraction could be performed on the tooth when required.

To prevent your child and his oral health from any severe damage it is important to practice disciplined oral hygiene habit. You can also contact Oahu’s Most Referred Pediatric Dentists at KidShine Hawaii.
