It

is a result of parents or caregivers giving milk or juice propped and/or to

pacify the child. The sugars and acids erode the teeth.

children - Q

Hi

I am interested in finding out if anyone has treated young children

with severe dental decay, to the point of demineralization and the

teeth are only a nub left at the gum line. The situation is being

termed " baby-bottle tooth decay " or " rampant caries " . I

heard there

are a few children in my community with this situation.

Any ideas would be appreciated about why this occurs and what to do

about it. Thank you

What about children who are breast fed?

I've also seen this in a " healthy " breast fed child. Calc flour cell salts and

the single remedy calc carb was helpful in this patient--in that the teeth he

already had stopped eroding and the new teeth were stronger. The patient had

also had topical fluoride painted onto his molars quarterly and the mom felt

that he reacted poorly to this treatment.

Fluoride

is a toxic chemical and will soften and erode teeth, " fluorosis " .
