Baby Bottle Tooth Decay and Caries
Is BBTD and Caries the same thing
I am a little confused is Baby Bottle tooth decay the same thing as Caries? Or is caries something different? If so what is caries? Is not BBTD what you get from letting your baby sleep with a baby bottle full of mike or juice? Then I read that caries is the same thing. Not sure what is correct.

BBTD or Baby Bottle Tooth Decay can also be called Carries.
What is carries and what does it mean well I was able to find this brake down of the words meaning.
Caries is Latin for “rot”, and in Greek (“Ker”) it means “death”. The term “dental caries” thus refers to a dead tooth, or a tooth that is rotten or decayed.
BBTD can be one of a few causing factor for caries. You get BBTD by leaving a baby bottle filled with anything other then water with a baby or child to keep in their mouth. This may help keep the baby or child quite but can cause BBTD or carries.
BBTD is clearly cause by baby bottles as stated above. However, baby can contact Carries from other means.
What are some of the causes dental caries?
There are three:
1) specific bacteria (found in plaque)
2) sugar
3) susceptible tooth surface. (Weaken tooth enamel)

BBTD is just one way of your baby getting very bad tooth decay.
Caries is just another term for very bad tooth decay.
They are not the same just the end results are.
Just make sure you take very good care of your baby teeth Hygiene. Avoid letting your baby cross contaminate her spoons, mouth toy, or cups, with other children or adults. There have been studies showing that a baby can also get caries from doing that.
