The natural sugar in cow’s milk and quickly becomes acidic and starts the destruction of the teeth. Because this type of decay occurs only in the back of the upper front teeth, is not easily seen.
Pacha if feeding is used not only to feed the baby but to keep quiet or console, the only liquid that should be used is water. Any drink sweetened, carbonated water, fruit juices, milk for babies and “sugar water” can destroy the teeth.

Infection of Primary Teeth

A Sweet Way to Shield Baby’s Teeth
A new sweet treat that actually helps prevent tooth decay in children could please both children and their parents, researchers report.
The rich flavor syrup containing the sugar substitute xylitol, prevented the appearance of premature decay in the teeth of young children and may play a role in protecting permanent teeth, says a U.S. team and the Marshall Islands, in the South Pacific. Xylitol has long been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, so it is present in some food products such as gum.
The compound protects children’s teeth by reducing the number of oral bacteria that cause decay, explained study author Dr. Peter Milgrom, a professor of dental public health at the University of Washington in Seattle.
“I see the dental caries as a type of malnutrition,” he said. A diet high in sugar urges treated bacteria to metabolize sugars and produce lactic acid that creates tooth decay, the researcher said.
The study involved 102 children in the Marshall Islands from 6 to 15 months of age. The researchers chose these islands as a study site, because childhood tooth decay rates shown here are nearly triple that seen among children inland.
According to researchers, 76 percent of children who received xylitol syrup implementation of their teeth three times a day were free of cavities a year later.
That compares with 48 percent of children who did not receive daily xylitol applications.
