Protect your child’s smile from cavities!

Causes of cavities in baby teeth ● The enamel of the babies teeth is thinner than that of permanent teeth.

● Bacteria in the child’s mouth can change the sugar in the baby’s food into acid.

● Acid can form in the mouth of a child 20 minutes after eating.


● This acid should be removed regularly or can cause cavities. ● Saliva helps clear this acid but when the baby sleeps this process slows down. Learn about the common causes of cavities in baby teeth, from thin enamel to acid-forming bacteria.

With regular cleaning and good dental habits, you can keep your child's teeth healthy and strong.
