Nursing bottle caries!

This is seen in bottle fed babies due to milk being in the mouth for long hours at night. This happens when baby sleeps with the bottle in the mouth and the mother doesn’t remove it. :tooth: :baby_bottle:

This is characterised by extensive destruction of all the baby teeth!:tooth: :microbe:

Hence, spreading awareness about this to parents is essential to prevent this.
Using cups to drink milk and giving water to rinse the mouth after drinking milk is a good way to avert this.
