How can you limit tooth decay in children?

Q. What kind of signs of tooth decay should you look out for children? Should I make sure that my kids clean teeth after every meal or is the twice a day once in the morning and once at night enough?

A. Brushing at least twice a day is a must- after each meal would be ideal.  Limiting sugary snacks and acidic juices will also help.  Also, avoid putting a child down with a bottle at bedtime.
