Why children have rotten teeth

Please don’t put your baby to bed with a bottle which is the #1 cause of Baby Bottle Tooth Decay, also known as Early Childhood Caries (ECC). Children who are frequently exposed to sugary liquids—such as milk, breast milk, formula, fruit juice, and other sweet liquids—for long periods of time run a great risk of suffering from Early Childhood Caries. ECC is an infectious disease that can begin as early as the teeth begin to emerge (around 6 months or so), often progresses rapidly, and can cause great pain to the child.
