Advice on Weaning 1 Year Old off the Bottle to Sippy Cup

Does anyone have advice on HOW and WHEN to wean a baby off the bottle to a sippy cup???? My son just made 1 yr last week. We took him in for his 1 year well baby check up and the ped suggested we wean him off the bottle soon! Her concern was that babies that go longer than a year on a bottle usually end up having issues with their teeth. I can see where she's coming from. BUT... My husband seems to think that I should take the bottle away from my son, COLD TURKEY! I don't think that's the answer though, I feel like I should do it...
