It can cause gaps in children's teeth?

Question:

Hey.

I have a son aged 6 years who ALWAYS want something to drink when he's in bed. He always gets water when I think it's the best now that the teeth are brushed ... BUT my boyfriend do not think it does something, he gets the milk? ... Can it really be true? ... Always thought I've heard that milk can also lead to gaps in your teeth ... or perhaps it is only infant formula is not smart after brushing?

Answer:

Dear Malle,

You are absolutely right in what you say. Milk can cause tooth decay because it contains milk sugar. It does not matter what milk we're talking about. So keep in mind that your son should only have water to drink before bed.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
