Baby bottle tooth decay is one of the challenges parents might face as their little child grows up.
In this case, parents must introduce and show the importance of oral hygiene to their children as early as possible.
Through this, you can help your baby gain healthy teeth and mouth for life.
Gums and Baby Teeth Care
If the baby is not yet teething, you can start the hygiene routine by cleaning their gums.This doesn’t involve the usage of toothbrush and toothpaste. Here are the steps parents must do instead:
- Use a soft, moistened piece of gauze or washcloth
- Clean your baby’s gums gently twice a day, especially after feeding
- Do the same routine before bedtime.
What Makes A Tooth?
People generally grow 2 sets of teeth in a lifetime. These 2 sets being the primary teeth and the permanent teeth.
Otherwise known as baby teeth, deciduous teeth, and milk teeth, primary teeth usually start growing at 6 months and completely fall off at age 13. Children typically grow 20 baby teeth before their adult teeth start to grow into place.
Adult teeth, on the other hand, are referred to as permanent teeth because this set of pearly whites are naturally designed to last a lifetime. Adults usually grow 32 permanent teeth which develop between the ages of 6 and 14 years.

I had a tooth infection and they got me in first thing the next day to fix the issue. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful the dentist was excellent. No one really likes to go to the dentist to get a tooth removed but these guys made the experience painless . They were very efficient, professional ,informative and caring through the whole process.Will recommend these guys to anyone and will be back and take my whole family to them .

I was experiencing tooth pain and my regular dentist was closed during the pandemic. Finding Dr Malouf was a blessing and life saver. I was able to have an early appointment the next day and my emergency was solved without any fuss. Very professional and caring. I no longer see my regular dentist.

Dr James is a very skilled and knowledgeable dentist and cosmetic dentist. He is also very honest, caring and friendly and he has a wonderful team working with him. He has been mine and my family's dentist for 4 years now and we could not be happier. My 8yo son has never dreaded going to the dentist and he is always very excited to see Dr James and Brooke for his 6 monthly check up and dental cleaning. Well, this says it all!!! Most recently Dr James restored my smile with veneers and I could not be more pleased with the results. His attention to details and perfectionism are second to none. With such a subtle and natural change, he was able to give me the smile I always dreamed of. Thank you Dr James, you are truly the BEST in your field.

I needed an emergency permanent retaining wire replacement and couldn’t even close my teeth due to the broken wire hanging. The reception provided excellent service and they were nearly immediate to get me in for an appointment. Dr James was extremely knowledgeable and was able to fit me with a new wire after a short wait that fits and feels 10x better than the initial wire and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve never had a better experience with any other dentist before in my life and would greatly recommend him to anyone needing some dental work done.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr James Malouf and his staff. I have been seeing James for just over 6 months now and he is always so caring and considerate. He is also helping me with my Invisalign process and making sure I am always happy! We are halfway through the treatment and I think he is just as excited with the progress as i am! If your looking for a dentist with skill and gentle hands, beautiful reception staff and a fantastic work ethic look no further. 5/5!

I highly recommend Malouf Dental. I have only ever had positive experiences. James is an excellent doctor, and extremely helpful. I originally started seeing James for braces (with an amazing result), and have since had teeth whitening and go for regular checkups.The reception and nursing staff are also very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I highly recommend James and his practice. I had Invisalign as well as all of my regular checkups here and was always impressed by the friendliness of James and all of the dental hygienists and receptionists as well as their quality of work and value. If I didn't move to a new city I would still be going here.

I can’t fault the practice of Dr Malouf. James and the team we’re absolutely amazing and made me feel so comfortable that after I had my new smile, I organised my wife and two young girls for a check up.Best in Briabane!

James did a wonderful job with my bridges- I couldn’t be happier with the result! He is a lovely guy, friendly and genuine and extremely knowledgeable. The dental nurses, hygienist and receptionists are great too- I go for ongoing check ups/cleans and always have a positive experience. Very glad I found this practice 😊
