Abstract:
Prolonged frequent bottle feeding with sugar rich liquids leads to early multiple dental caries. This dental disease known as the baby bottle syndrome may have serious long-term local as well as general consequences. A general anesthesia is frequently necessary in order to treat the extensive dental lesions in affected young children. Paediatricians have a major role to play in the prevention of this disease: 1) by teaching parents appropriate preventive measures on nutrition, early oral and dental hygiene and fluoride supplementation; 2) by regularly looking for early signs of rampant caries and by alerting parents when they are found.
