Re: Poll, how many of you have asd kids with bad dental decay?

April 28, 2006

My son, 12.5 had an assessment by an orthodontist at GOS yesterday, he

commented that the teeth and gums were remarkabley healthy, no signs

of disease or decay whatsoever. He was surprised to hear that my son

is dairy free, (he's been CFGF+SoyF for 8 years). So I explained that

also meant NO sugar at all, just fresh meat and veg, eggs and rice

(yes I know high glyciemic). Plus calcium supp and NO Fluoride or

other nasties.

The diet seems to work well for the teeth. He has no hidden sugar

since no processed foods, has never developed a 'sweet tooth', and

doesn't like fruit. Only drinks water or rice milk-substitute.

Hi, I just went to the dentist yesterday with jay, with 2 cavities, he also never has sweets and was breastfed (hardly ever wanted normal solid food) until 2. 5 years, although he was demand fed and I suspect that this in itself is definitely not good for the teeth. Jay kisses me a lot, well more of a lick actually and a few times I have had a feeling that his saliva was, I don't know how to describe it but I definitely think there's something there to be looked into,it sometimes feels kind of stingy on my skin, best wishes Josie ps while we're on the subject of teeth has anyone got any teeth brushing tips cos I find that really hard, he just bites on the bush to avoid me doing them, apart from tickling him I don't know how to get a good brushing each timeOn 28 Apr 2006, at 21:46, bbrowne123 wrote: Just interested in whether this is a common thread with our kids.
