My sons just turned 1 - question about cleaning teeth?

Question

I clean his teeth after he eats his dinner, but he usually has a bottle of milk after that and falls asleep on it, so i dont really want to wake him up to clean his teeth again - is this okay??

Answer 1

i dont see why that would hurt him milk isnt too bad.

Answer 2

most likly yes  if he dose have any problmes with his teeth just make sure you advise him when he starts loosing his milk teeth and that his next set of teeth are the  most important

Answer 3

Milk isnt to much of an issue.Theres nothing in it that would corrode the teeth or break down the enamel as it's not accidic like juices and colas whihc wreck the anamel.and milks not really leaving any residue on the teeth like food.

I think it's ok :) let him sleep hehe

Answer 4

Not a good idea to let your child fell asleep with the bottle. The natural  sugars in the milk will rot his front teeth in time. I see a lot of it in my line of work. The advice the dentist give is to NOT eat or drink within one hour of going to bed & to brush teeth before going to bed.
