About 350 crore people in the world are suffering from small and big diseases related to mouth. It was informed in the report of the World Health Organization (WHO), which came four years ago. According to the National Oral Health Program 2020 report, 95% of Indian youth are troubled by the problem of gums.

The biggest reason for this is lack of awareness. That is why World Oral Health Day is celebrated on 20 March every year. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about teeth and mouth health. Proper care of teeth is very important since childhood, but sometimes parents make such mistakes in unknowingly, which damages the dental health of children. One such problem is baby bottle syndrome, which can be caused by drinking milk from bottles in young children. Let’s know about this syndrome and prevention of it …

Baby Bottle Syndrome, also known as ‘Bottle Caries’ or ‘Nursing Bottle Caries’, is a dental condition, in which milk teeth of young children start rotting. This problem occurs when the child is repeatedly given milk, juice or sweet drinks from the bottle, especially while sleeping. The main reason for this is the sugar present in the liquid drinking bottle, which gives a chance to grow bacteria by accumulating on the teeth.

These bacteria form acids, causing the upper layer of teeth to be destroyed and cavity (teeth) problems. If its symptoms are ignored, then the child may face problems like falling teeth, gum infection and speaking.

Symptoms of baby bottle syndrome: White or brown spots on the teeth may be an early sign of cavity. Toothache or sensitivity, which is painful on eating cold-hot. Ringing of teeth can change color due to tooth decay. Due to bacterial infection, gum swelling or bleeding causes the smell of the mouth due to increasing teeth decay
