Early dental decay can develop among children due to any of the following reasons: late weaning from bottle feeding; irregular or no brushing at all; consumption of sugary foods such as candies and chocolates.
Baby teeth are too susceptible for decay because they are made of soft enamel. In other words, baby teeth are as tender as the babies themselves – young and very vulnerable.
ECTD or Early Childhood Tooth Decay and also known as Baby Bottle Tooth Decay can be very difficult and may have effect on the child’s later years as he gets older.
