Care of early childhood (bunt bottle)

Bunt bottle caries is reaching the primary teeth, especially those in front and high among children under the age of 5. It is initialize when the child falls asleep with the bottle still in his mouth. It is a kind of decay very aggressive and tends to spread quickly. It's called bottle tooth decay because the use of the bottle promotes prolonged contact between the liquid from it and the tooth surface. Even milk contains natural sugars that cause cavities of the bottle if they are in prolonged contact with the teeth. If the liquid has more added sugar such as fruit drinks, soft liqueurs or sugar water, the risk of developing cavities of the bottle increases even more. The teeth are more susceptible to decay when they come to appear. It is important to keep the primary teeth healthy because most of these teeth are present in the mouth for 5 to 10 years and allow the child to eat, talk and have a beautiful smile.
