Nursing bottle caries, or baby bottle syndrome, often occur in infants and toddlers, affecting their upper front teeth. The common cause of developing nursing bottle caries is prolonged exposure of the baby's teeth to sugary drinks. It can also occur when the baby is put to bed with a bottle or when the infant falls asleep while breastfeeding. Visible white spots on the teeth and tooth decay are the common symptoms of this condition.
