Moreover, these decays may result in loosing the milk teeth very early.

The early loss of milk teeth;
may result in the event that the permanent teeth coming from the bottom cannot find their directions, either not being able to cut through or teething crookedly, due insufficient space. And this may cause some aesthetic or functional disorders in the future. The handling of these problems in the future may be more difficult, time consuming and expensive. Therefore, the problem should be determined at an early stage and the necessary precautions should be taken by the dentist.

The fissure sealants that will be applied to large grinders, cover the cavities of the teeth and reduce or prevent the decaying in the permanent teeth.

Methods of protecting the baby from tooth decays:
- Not adding sweeteners such as honey, molasses or sugar to the nursing bottle or the comforter.
- Not putting the baby to sleep while feeding him/her with the bottle.
- After feeding, cleaning the teeth with a clean and wet cheesecloth or a gauze

Whether the child has a Finger-sucking habit, whether the tongue os over large or whether there are any swallowing problems such as the tongue remaining between the teeth, should be examined carefully.

If there is such a problem, the necessary interventions should be made before causing any permanent damages. Otherwise, jaw and teeth disorders as well as speech problems may occur. And this may result in long and expensive treatments in the future.
