Follow these easy steps to keep your young child smiling.

  1. Introduce a feeder cup as 12 months of age and wean off the bottle at around this time.
  2. Make sure your child does not go to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice.
  3. Do not let your child suck on a bottle as a comforter during the day.
  4. Start brushing your child's milk teeth with fluoride toothpaste as soon as they come through.
