Yes, baby teeth are only temporary. But they're still susceptible to the pain and discomfort of tooth decay -- often dubbed "baby bottle tooth decay."

Zetadental.co.uk suggests how to prevent the problem and keep your child's mouth healthier:

Don't share utensils with your child or put a pacifier in your mouth, which could transfer germs to your child.
Until the teeth start coming in, wipe baby's gums with a damp cloth.
Once the teeth start coming in, brush with a child-size toothbrush and water. Do not use fluoride toothpaste until age 2, or as recommended by the pediatrician.
Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste between ages 2 and 6.
Carefully monitor your child when brushing teeth until about age 6 or 7, until you're sure the child won't swallow toothpaste.
Never send your child to bed with a bottle.
Make sure your child's pacifier is always clean, and never dip it in honey or sugar water.
Promote healthy eating habits and encourage your child to drink from a cup by the first birthday.

Sending to bed w/ bottle is bad cause the milk can collect and end up in the ear area if not swalloed completely.Is a good possibility that the last couple sucks wont be swallowed as the baby falls asleep.
