Yes! Infantile tooth decay occurs mostly in the upper incisors and may affect other teeth as well. Parents may not be aware that the baby's teeth will decline shortly after their first appearance. Decay can even enter the underlying bone structure, which can hurt the development of permanent teeth. This problem is commonly referred to as baby bottle decay. This decay is caused by long-term exposure of children's teeth to liquids containing sugar. When children eat sugary liquids, acids can erode teeth and gums and cause decay.
