Also Xylitol is recommended by dentists, medical doctors, periodontists, pediatricians and many health organizations and health professionals. For more information you can go to Xlear's website they are the Xylitol experts.

Where have you heard that Fluoride isn't a poison? You need to do a little more research.

According to the handbook, Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products, fluoride is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. It is a cumulative poison that accumulates in bone over the years.

I just took my 3 year old daughter to the children's dentist yesterday. My daughter just turned 3 in September and the reason I took her is because she chipped one of her front teeth. Well she has 12 cavitites, yes I said 12 and two of the teeth are un-repairable. We noticed that her two front ones had brown up by the gums but thought it was tartar. We never introduced her to juice and never gave her milk in bed but the dentist didn't believe us. They make you feel like crap. Well she has an appointment in a hosiptal to be put under but everything will be fixed in that one appointment. We have a well and her doctor put her on Fluoride Multi Vitamin when she was one and we brush them daily and she still has bad teeth. I would suggest taking your child to a childrens dentist because our normal dentist scared the crap out of her and wasn't patient with her at all. Now she keeps saying she don't want to go back to the scary dentist.

My son is 3 1/2 and he is having his top 4 front teeth pulled. He hadn't been on a bottle at night since he was 1 and we tied the pacifiers to balloons to let them go. He was so excited to watch them fly away... but he has tooth decay and they have to come out. We took him to one dentist and they gave us mi paste to put on and said it should stop it from getting worse...followed up 6 months later and they keep doing what were doing. 6 months later we decided to see another dentist that family recommended and we did. At first they thought they can be saved but then I got a call that they need to come out. At first I didn't let it bother me but now I get upset thinking about it. I don't know how he's gonna take it.

My son has had this problem since he was three. I took him to the dentist at two and a half and they traumatized him. I couldn't get him to go back to the dentist until he was five when I was able to find a children's dentist that he would let me bring him to. He is now 8 and has had more than 8 cavities. I thought it was from being on the bottle too long but they are actually caused by a bacteria in his mouth that not everyone has. His father and grandfather lost all their teeth by the time they were 20. When I told the dentist this they told me that I have to make sure he uses act mouthwash, brushes twice a day and flosses. Problem is that he hates flossing and even when I do it for him he screams.

My little girl is going through the same thing. She is 3 and we had our first visit to the dentist yesterday. She has 4 teeth that they are going to pull. This will be 2 seperate surgeries. If your child just has cavities they may just fix them. Dr Boyd says this is the cause of me letting daughter sleep with a bottle for so long.

We had similar issues with our son when he was two, and as a result he did have to have 2 teeth pulled. Our dentist told us it was because the enamel never hardened properly and is actually fairly common. I can tell you that once the bad teeth were removed our kiddo began to eat more and sleep better. We never knew how much discomfort he was in until he wasn't in it anymore. The removal process was a bit scary because they had to put him under, but he did amazing (way better then me) and is a healthy and energetic 5 year old now.

Quoting Lauralee:

Try Xylitol...go to http://www.epicdental.com/ to read more about what it does for your teeth. It is 100% natural and so much better for you than Fluoride which is a toxic poison!

Flouride is not a poison.  It is one of the best tools to keep teeth healthy.  Too much flouride can cause white spotting on teeth, which is why children should only use flouride toothpaste once they have learned to spit (not swallow it) after brushing.  Things that are "natural" are not necessarily harmless (e.g. radon is a basic element in nature that causes cancer), but they are less likely to be safety-tested and are not regulated by the FDA or ADA.

My little boy is 17 months and has two bottom teeth and four top teeth, i brush his teeth twice a day, but feed him a 5 oz bottle of milk right before i put him in his cot at night, without the bottle but with a dummy, will this rot his teeth???

Milk cavities are common. What kind of toothpaste do you use when you brush his teeth? He should be using one that contains flouride by now. I would take him to the dentist asap. He will not pull them. That would cause to many problems since the other teeth will try to move in order to fill the gap. The dentist can take care of the problem and can give him flouride treatments to help prevent future decay. My son was given flouride tablets to take each day since we are on well water.

It's the milk the causes it. I didn't think my daughter would do well at the dentist, but i took her to a pediatric dentist, the first time he examined them, and told me what the problem was and gave us the tooth paste. The second time they cleaned her teeth, she sat in the big chair and they used everything on her even the suction for the water, but the lady was great! Don't get me wrong she was scared, but the lady talked her through it, and it was a good dental experience.

Just an idea: Does your child take a vitamin with iron? If so, it could be an iron stain rather than decay. I was scared to death that my child had cavities when he was 9 months old, but it was iron staining.

He already does have the appointment with the dentist in a couple weeks! He isnt very excited, either.

Thanks ladies for the replies. Yes I think this is due to the fact that he went to bed with a bottle..even tho it was very rarely with juice. Either milk or water. The two teeth look awful but I know hes probably too little to have them removed. It looks like I dont brush his teeth but I brush them twice a day!!!

Monica - posted on 05/01/2009

they might pull them, but they are baby teeth so dont worry to much, did you put him to bed with a bottle? that can cause tooth decay. Take him to the dentist right away make sure you go to one that specializes in children so they dont scare him. I took my son when he was 2 and they sat him in my lap and leaned him back into the dentists lap so that he wasent in a big chair with scary bright lights.

My daughter has the same problem. she is two and I took her to a pediatric dentist, an they gave me this extra fluoride toothpaste to leave on overnight. I don't think it will get better it just keeps them from getting worse. Yes it is from too much bottle.
