Brief Answer:
Nursing bottle caries, consult pediatric dental surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the decayed front upper teeth is concerned, i have two possibilities.
It can be because of the improper oral hygiene maintenance or it can be because of the prolonged use of nursing bottle. Prolonged use of nursing bottle, particularly before going to bed may result in caries. Nothing to be panic, these teeth will exfoliates and permanent teeth will erupt. But consult a pediatric dental surgeon and take a radiograph to confirm the presence of permanent teeth inside the bone.
I hope my answer will help you, take care. If any queries are there, reply me back.
