Protecting Your Baby’s Teeth While They Sleep
Avoid Bedtime Bottles to Prevent Early Childhood Tooth Decay
Never put your baby to sleep with a bottle or sippy cup containing anything other than water. Milk, juice, formula, and sweetened drinks can pool in your child’s mouth and cause baby bottle tooth decay.
If a bedtime bottle is unavoidable, ensure it contains only water. Ideally, help your baby finish their milk or formula before being put down to sleep.

First Dental Visit: When Your Calgary Dentist Should Meet Your Baby
Your baby should see a Calgary dentist by their first tooth or first birthday—whichever comes first.
During this visit, your dentist will examine your child’s mouth, check growth and development, discuss habits such as thumb sucking, and guide you on proper brushing techniques. Routine checkups are essential for maintaining strong, healthy smiles as your child grows.
