Rampant caries progresses at a faster rate in children and it involves multiple teeth. It?s also called nursing bottle caries as the decay spreads due to feeding milk during the night & putting the baby or children to sleep without brushing. Hence early diagnosis and initiation of preventive and restorative therapies are imperative in its management. Rampant caries can affect the early permanent dentition if the child has improper dietary habits and poor oral hygiene maintenance. Dental tips: - brush teeth as soon as the tooth erupts with kids tooth paste & brush. Kids finger brushes are available in the market. Avoid things like licking your baby?s pacifier to clean it. Parents can pass harmful bacteria from their mouth to their children?s mouth, which can put children at an increased risk for cavities. Avoid biting & sharing food. Do not expect your child to brush regularly. Instead its parent?s responsibility to be studious enough to brush your child's teeth twice daily.
