If your baby is given a bottle when going to sleep, use nothing but water. Bottles containing milk, formula or fruit juice put teeth under attack from bacterial acid all night long.

Children should first visit a pediatric dentist by the age of one or when the first tooth appears. Regular check-ups should occur every six months.

Avoid giving carbonated beverages to your kids, which can erode enamel on teeth and be sure to limit juices to less than four ounces per day.

Keep an eye on snacking – ideally children should have no more than three snack times a day. Quick tip: cheeses are a great option because they clear the mouth of food and neutralize the acids that attack teeth.
