Infant tooth decay can appear before age: Dr Dhanotra
Infant tooth decay can appear before age one due to thinner enamel and bacterial colonisation. Dr Kiran Dhanotra highlights night feeding, sugar exposure, and oral bacteria transfer as major risk factors. Preventive measures like proper brushing, post-feed rinsing, and timely paediatric dental visits significantly reduce progression, safeguarding oral health and future permanent teeth development.
