Tooth Decalcification

Just got back from the dentist. Jeremy has some decalcification on his top front teeth. Poor boy has to stop taking his floride vitamins and I have to brush his teeth with super floridated toothpaste to stop it from becoming cavities.

Re: Tooth Decalcification

So he was taking in too much flouride ? poor baby,.
this is one of my debates. my pediatrician says they NEED the flouride in their vitamins plus in the toothpaste. and our pediatric dentist said theyre getting way too much (and can get white spots on their teeth, is that what he has?) and that she gives her 4 kids, i think she rotates the flouride vitamins and then switches off with OTC vitamins, since they dont need so much flouride...
can get so confusing

i hope it gets better soon for jeremy

Re: Tooth Decalcification

No, the floride in the vitamins is fine. She doesnt want me giving him floride vitamins and brushing w/ a prescription toothpaste that he is going to swallow... too much floride. She said it's probably the night time nursing that has done it to him He isnt allowed any juice or sugary drinks which Im ok with but my poor baby. The last thing I want is cavaties in his front 4 top teeth
