Prolonged contact with almost any liquid other than water can cause something called baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD). Putting your baby to bed with a bottle of formula, milk, juice, soda or sugar water is one cause; giving him sweet drinks several times a day is another. Liquid from the bottle builds up in the mouth, the natural or added sugars change to acid and the acid starts dissolving the teeth, causing them to decay. BBTD can severely damage baby teeth and can also affect permanent teeth.
