AB A  mother  brings  her  18-month-old  son  to  the  physician’s  clinic  for  his  well-child  examination.  He  is  almost  weaned  from  his  bottle,  but  still  drinks  from  a  bottle  to  go  to  sleep.  During  the  day,  he  uses  a  sippy  cup  to  drink  everything—from  milk  to  soda.  His  mother  has  started  giving  him  apple  juice  in  the  bottle  instead  of  milk  because  he  tends  to  get  constipated.  On  performing  an  oral  examination,  the  physician  notices  that  several  of  his  teeth  have  “white  spots”  (Figure  36-1).  The  physician  discusses  dental  hygiene  and  treats  him  with  topical  fluoride  gel.
