Baby teeth often start decaying as soon as they erupt in the oral cavity because they are frequently in contact with simple sugars, such as those from a bottle, or parents delay the introduction of home oral hygiene practices.

Particularly aggressive for baby teeth are: commercially available pre-sweetened tea/infusions in sachets; milk sweetened with any type of sugar, including honey; milk and biscuits, especially when used at night; daily use, often instead of water, of fruit juices or acidic drinks, to mention some of the most common mistakes made in attempting to provide a complete diet to the child, which often results in a condition called "Bottle Syndrome".

Bottle Syndrome is nothing more than the presence of multiple cavities in baby teeth, which often, at the age of two and a half/three, are already extensively decayed both in the posterior and anterior sectors.

It should always be remembered that decayed baby teeth are painful, very painful, like adult teeth, so this painful experience for the child must be absolutely prevented. Remember also that it is much easier for those who care for children and care about their well-being to intervene when pain is not yet present because anyone would be more willing to be approached in a state of well-being rather than afflicted with pain.

Furthermore, maintaining the health of baby teeth is fundamental for the correct eruption of future permanent teeth. The therapies we apply are always aimed at maintaining baby teeth, both for aesthetic appearance and for the important function they perform.
