Summary:In spite of a spectacular drop of dental caries in children during the last ten years, the young child polycaries syndrome has not disappeared. Baby Bottle Tooth Decay is a dental pathology of temporary teeth affecting very young children, related to prolonged and frequent use of baby bottle with high carbohydrates content. The important destruction of the temporary teeth hard tissues, and the rapid extension of the lesions carry a high risk of infectious and orthodondic complications with repercussion on the permanent teeth. It is important that pediatricians actively participate to its prevention and early detection.
