Get help soon: See a pedodontist, a dentist specialist for infants and kids. Stop sending kid to bed with bottle of milk if you have been.

Get to a dentist!!: See a dentist right away and get the treatment needed. Child likely will need sedation to get care. If you are giving them anything other than water to go to bed please stop. That is the most common cause.
