Oh, come on!!  There must have been other contributing factors.  My
older daughter had a bottle of milk every time she went to bed at night
or for a nap until she was four and half.  She had and still has no
problems with her teeth.  I know plenty of children who nursed
themselves to sleep every night until age four or so with no tooth
problems.

"Infant nursing syndrome"?  Is that as bad as adult eating syndrome? :-)

Care for your children in a way that feels right and natural to you and
don't listen very hard to all the fantastic theories.
