EP 55 : What Is Bottle Mouth?
The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast
03/01/21 • 19 min
Bottle Mouth is a term used to describe the tooth decay that results from putting a baby to bed with a bottle that contains anything except water. When baby teeth have frequent and prolonged contact with too much sugar from milk or juice in a bottle.
Children at risk for bottle mouth take bottles of milk or juice to bed at naptime and bedtime or carry sugary beverages or milk around during the day. It is usually worse when a baby or young children fall asleep with a bottle or sippy cup in their mouth.
Bottle mouth cavities develop when babies are put to bed with a bottle, when a bottle is used as a pacifier, or if a baby or toddler uses a bottle or sippy cup frequently throughout the day and night. The bacteria already in the babies mouth feed on the sugar, multiply and produce acid as an acid as a waste product. This acid attacks and weakens the outer tooth layer called enamel, once weakened the tooth decay process starts.
Why should you be concerned with Baby Bottle Tooth Decay?
This is a common question I am asked. They’re just baby teeth, they are going to lose them anyway, so why do I need to worry about them? It is true, your child will lose their baby teeth, but infant cavities can be a serious problem. Your child needs their teeth to chew, swallow, speak, and smile. Baby teeth also hold the space for permanent teeth. If your child loses a baby tooth too early, the neighboring teeth are more likely to tilt or drift into the empty space and create limited space for the permanent tooth to erupt. If left untreated, the permanent tooth can be blocked from coming in property causing crowding and the need for braces, poor eating habits or speech problems.
The first signs of Baby Bottle Tooth Decay are white spots on the front teeth. If the white spots with plaque and sugar on the teeth, will quickly progress into tooth decay. Teeth that have decay may appear brown or black. Bottle mouth decay mostly affects the upper front teeth, but other teeth can develop cavities as well.
Milk that lingers on your teeth can cause damage without brushing your teeth after drinking milk (especially at night before bed), the sugar in milk stays stuck on teeth. Not disrupting the plaque is what leads to cavities and decay. It's also good to rinse your mouth with water after having milk during the day to neutralize the pH in the mouth.
Babies who fall asleep while drinking from a bottle can breath liquid into their lungs and choke, it can also cause aspiration pneumonia.
This is why you do not want to put a baby to be with a bottle to soothe them.
You can feed them before bed, just don’t give them a bottle and leave them for the night, it becomes a hard habit to break later.

Approximately 5.9 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, yet a staggering 23.5 million people are living with undiagnosed cases of moderate to severe OSA.
With a respiratory disease gripping the planet, timing has never been more urgent for parents to be on the lookout for signs for signs of in their child, get a proper diagnosis, and take appropriate next steps to keep their family safe. We talk to Dr. Dassani about signs to lookout for including:
Bed wetting
Sleep terrors
Snorting, coughing or choking
Pauses in breathing
Poor weight gain
Behavioral problems
Hyperactivity
If left unchecked possible complications later in life such as heart disease, failure to grow, and even death are risks that lay before children with OSA.

EP 53 - Lip Ties With Melissa Tyson
The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast
02/15/21 • 29 min
What is lip-tie?
To put it simply it is a condition that restricts the upper lip.
You are born with it. You either have it or you don't. A lip tie is when the band of tissue under the baby's upper lip is too short or tight and is tethered, limiting the upper lips movement. That band of tissue is called the maxillary labial frenum (you can feel yours if you run your tongue between your upper lip and your front teeth right under your nose and the top of the gum).
If the tissue is too tight it can interfere with breastfeeding. Babies who are having difficulty latching should be evaluated for lip and tongue tie.
Similar to lip-ties tongue-tie can cause feeding difficulties as well if a baby can’t get his/her lips around the nipple and areola. (The baby’s Lips should be able to form a proper seal around them.)
Today I interview Melissa Tyson an amazing Swim coach and Mom of a daughter who had a lip tie that made nursing painful. She is sharing her story and experience with us to help other know they are not alone and what signs to look for where to get help if your baby is not latching or nursing is painful.
If you think you baby may have a tie or you are having pain while nursing or know someone who is speak to your lactation consultant or reach out to me

EP 56 : 9 Things You Should Know About Baby Teeth
The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast
03/08/21 • 33 min
It is a significant milestone is when your baby goes from gummy grins to that cute toothy smile. Newly erupting baby teeth serve an essential role in the development of your baby’s teeth and mouth.
How to care for your baby's gums and new teeth
Start by wiping your baby’s gums
Even before your baby has their first tooth, it's a good idea to get into the habit of wiping his/her gums with gauze or a soft wet washcloth during bath time or after feeding. You don't need to use any toothpaste yet.
Bacteria in the mouth usually can't harm the gums before the teeth erupt, however,your baby can get “thrush” even without teeth, which is a yeast infection in the mouth. You won’t know when the teeth start to break through the gums, so you'll want to start early. Getting your baby used to having his/her mouth cleaned as part of a daily routine should make it easier to transition into toothbrushing when teeth appear.
Signs of Teething
Every baby experiences teething differently. Some babies have no symptoms, while others seem to go through a lot of pain. Some common teething symptoms your baby might experience include:
Drooling
Sucking or biting
Irritability
Swelling or redness of gums
Ear rubbing
Facial rash
Mild temperature

EP 57 : Your Mouth, is the portal into Your Body
The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast
03/15/21 • 22 min
Just how can your mouth affect your body, to start you need to understand what happens in your mouth. Plaque and bacteria buildup on teeth the longer they go undisturbed the more they multiply. When you eat or drink you feed them creating an acid making both your teeth and gums susceptible to infection. The immune system intervenes to attack the bacterial infection to keep the gums from becoming inflamed and bleeding. If the infection is allowed to continue without disruption the inflammation continues.
Dental infections are silent; you do not feel them until a later stage. It can spread to the face, skull, bloodstream, even the heart, liver and kidneys. If you have bleeding gums, your tooth aches, you have a fever, earache, or pain in your jaw or shoulders, you will need to see a professional your physician, dentist or periodontist for treatment as soon as possible, before you get a toothache or worse a systemic infection.
The # 1 thing your body need to survive is oxygen.
Every part of your body needs oxygen to survive.
It’s important to establish nasal breathing as soon as possible at any stage of life. Nasal breathing has important sensory and neurological functions that provide 18% more oxygen to your body and it’s the foundation of all proper breathing patterns.
Mouth breathing, on the other hand, contributes to many structural and functional problems and contributes to an avalanche of health issues.
Even when mouth breathing is corrected postural and oral muscle functional issues can remain and need to be addressed with Oral Myofunctional Therapy. An assessment will help to determine if you need further treatment.
It may also be necessary to see a dentist or ear, nose and throat physician to correct structural issues and optimise the airway size.
I have only touched on the surface of how your mouth is connected to the health of your body.
