Baby bottle syndrome, also known as nursing bottle caries, refers to the severe tooth decay that occurs in infants and young children who frequently consume sugary liquids from bottles, particularly when they are allowed to sip on them throughout the day or while sleeping. The sugars in these liquids feed harmful bacteria in the mouth, leading to the erosion of tooth enamel and cavities. This condition can result in pain, infection, and the need for dental treatment, making early intervention and proper feeding practices essential for oral health.
