The way a child of six gets that much decay is from frequent eating. You are going to have to say no to your child&#8217;s snacking. Get him to not eat for 3-4 hours in a row so that he&#8217;ll be thoroughly hungry and eat sufficiently to not need to snack so much.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/\">Pediatric Dentist<\/a> Dr. Hilary Peck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is extensive decay in my six year old&#8217;s mouth.
