Frequent consumption of beverages that contain sugar causes tooth decay. Soft drinks and other flavored drinks are common culprits, but milk and juice are also guilty. Constant beverage consumption, such as bringing a sippy-cup to bed or taking occasional sips of a drink throughout the day, results in the teeth being coated with sugar for long periods. This increases the bacteria growth and acid production that produce tooth decay. Your child can have these beverages at meals or snack time, but substitute water for the periods in between.
