From Bottles To Bright Smiles: Fluoride, Baby Teeth, & Why Cavities Don’t Stand A Chance
By Laura Dougherty, D.D.S.�As dental professionals, one of our most important roles is helping parents protect their children’s smiles right from the start. A common issue we see is baby bottle tooth decay, which can affect even the youngest children. Thankfully, with the right knowledge and tools—like fluoride (F) in water—we can help prevent this. Let’s dive into why fluoride is so beneficial, even during pregnancy, and some exciting new prevention ideas on the horizon.
What Is Baby Bottle Tooth Decay? �Baby bottle tooth decay, also called early childhood caries, happens when a child’s teeth are exposed to sugar for extended periods. It’s often linked to putting a baby to bed with a bottle of milk, formula, or juice. These sugary drinks feed bacteria in the mouth, which produce acids that attack the enamel. Over time, this can lead to cavities, pain, and even more serious dental problems. �The upper front teeth are most commonly affected, but all teeth are at risk. It’s heartbreaking to see little ones struggle with preventable issues like this, which is why early education and preventive measures are so important.

Thank you to the Women’s Journal for sharing Dr. Laura Dougherty’s inspiring story! 🦷💙 We’re so proud to see her passion for dentistry and patient care highlighted. Here's to creating confident smiles every day! 😊✨

Dr. Laura A. Dougherty chose her career path at age seven when she found herself at the orthodontist, speech therapist or general dentist too many times to count when she was growing up. She finds that the most rewarding aspects of her career are being able to help ensure patients have a comfortable dental experience and seeing her patients gain confidence when they see their newly restored, beautiful smiles, just as her dental providers gave her when she was growing up.
Born and raised in Delaware’s Sussex County, “Dr. D” earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Delaware in 2001 before going on to study dentistry at the University of Maryland’s Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, achieving her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree in 2006. After completing her General Practice Residency with the Christiana Care Dental Residency Program, she went into private practice for 11 years prior to opening Dougherty Dental Solutions in 2018.
“Dr. D” is a proud and active member of the Delaware Academy of General Dentistry, as well as the American Dental Association, Delaware State Dental Society and American Academy of Facial Aesthetics. She resides in Delaware with her son and their dog Cooper. When she is not practicing dentistry, she enjoys hiking, going to the beach and spending time with her children and grandson.
