- Using honey on a baby’s pacifier
- Letting a child fall asleep sucking on a bottle of any liquid except water
- Infrequent brushing and flossing of teeth
- Not being thorough enough when brushing
- Constant eating and drinking throughout the day with no regard to good dental habits
- Leaving sugary or sticky foods and liquids sitting on teeth instead of rinsing one’s mouth with water after eating and drinking
- Making unhealthy food choices
- Pregnancy
- A family history of weakened teeth
- Dry Mouth
