See specialist: If he has that many cavities at such a young age, he probably has baby bottle syndrome.. He has been put to bed with a bottle of juice or milk, which is not advised. Seek the advice of a local pediatric dentist for your options.

Pedodontist: Call a pediatric dental specialist immediately. Cavities are infections that are damaging the baby teeth and can cause malformation of the underlying permanent teeth. Do not put your child to bed with a bottle containing anything other than water. Your child needs infection control, diet supervision, Fluoride management, and an oral hygiene program. Please call pedodontist now.

Pedodontist.: Childrens dentist ASAP. The dentist will instruct you about baby bottle syndrome and other habits that predispose to caries.
