Soon the upper teeth have
decayed because the bottle
containing liquids with
sugar is repeatedly left in
the baby's mouth,” Dudney
said.
“This causes several
problems for the developing
youngster. First, the child
won’t be able to eat very
well, and that will lead to
other nutritional, growth
and health problems.
Secondly, since the child’s
baby teeth guide the per
manent teeth, the child with
bottle decay may develop
problems with the formation
of permanent teeth. This
ccgild lead to speech
problems and later
socialization problems,”
Dudney said.
