A member asked:
My daughter had severe neonatal jaundice. she is now 17 and has lots of cavities. is there a direct link between the two?

Don't think so: Cavities are probably due to a combination of sugars/acids in the diet, lack of fluoride while teeth were developing, compromised oral hygiene, and irregular professional care. Have the cavities (infections) treated immediately. Discuss diet, oral hygiene, and fluoride rinses with the Dentist to prevent recurrence.
