The milk remains in the mouth for long periods of time and as it ferments in the mouth, the teeth also get infected.

Unfortunately, most of children are not treated timely. They usually need to be given a General Anesthetic in a hospital setting and then treated.

This is a situation that can be avoided by timely treratment of the child.
