Teeth problem
My son's teeth decaying. A doctor says, it's because of bottle feeding. In my family, there are 4-5 kids of age group 6-8 and all are still doing bottle feeding but there are no problems in their teeth. Also my wife boils bottle regularly. Because of theses, I am confused. Please advice me.

Sir we appreciate ur concern but remember one thing, caries do happen due to sugar ( carbohydrate) + bacteria & plaque,
All history you are telling suggest us that probably ur are not able to clean ur kids mouth with brush & mouthwash also clean anterior teeth with wet cotton swab....... N dis was missing sir
So next permanent teeth will come at the age of 7-8 years & we do need to save teeth & have treatment for current milk teeth as they can not sustain far with such kind of damage do visit dentist nearby &have happy smiling..

Caries is a result of genitical +food habbit +maintainence, among all the kids he maybe genetically phone, anyway since he is already having ramped caries better to treat him to the possible extent and take preventive measures like, avoiding night time bottle feading,cleaning the teeth twice morning and night and regular visits to pedodontist,
