Cleansing (brushing) teeth as soon as they erupt with a soft toothbrush will help reduce bacterial load.
Breastfeeding >7 times daily after 12 months of age is associated with increased risk for cavity. Night time breast feeding, bottle feeding, repeated use of a sippy and frequent in between meal consumption of
sugar-containing snacks or drinks (eg, juice, formula,) increase the risk of cavity.
Habits like thumb sucking, pacifier sucking may apply forces to teeth and develop malocclusion, thus these kind of habits if present has to be managed at the earliest.
can use GC Tooth Mousse paste for brushing (AVOID IF ALLERGIC TO MILK PROTIEN).
note: cavity not always looks black in color, it can appear as white spot lesions on the tooth surface, which should not be ignored and at this stage if you visit the dentist white spot lesion can be reversed and prevent it from progressing into a black colour cavity.
