So in my family two out of my four kids took after me when loosing their baby teeth. My daughter who will be 13 on Saturday still has baby teeth. So who is to say that because has mDs that is why he got his first tooth at 17 months, and still has not lost any of them either. It runs that way in our family. ________________________________ To: MosaicDS Sent: Wed, September 8, 2010 6:58:47 PM Subject: Re: I need feedback 's Teeth were slow to come in (but only about 6 months behind) - then because of an under-bite we had to have a jaw expander at 10; once we had the jaw expander removed all of her baby teeth molars fell out. She has no baby teeth left at 11 - while my son at 13 still has 5! The orthodontist and dentist both mentioned that she has very short roots (a DS trait) so they are not moving her teeth quickly because they do not want her to loose her teeth (me neither, especially after TWO sets of braces!) She will have braces this time for at least 3 years.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have a 12 year-old that still has baby teeth. My 7 year-old just started losing. No harm.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Atypical tooth development and replacement (losing baby teeth and gaining permanent ones), as well as fewer cavities, are typical when referring to children with any form of Down syndrome. All children need to start seeing a dentist around age 2. Do you have one experienced in treating children with Down syndrome? We have a good pediatric dentist, but they knew nothing about the commonness of children with Down syndrome not having cavities (especially when you can barely get a brushing in edgewise once a day!) > > > > Subject: I need feedback > To: mosaicds > Date: Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 1:30 PM > > > Â > > > > Hello everybody, I am wonder about teeth on a MDS child, my daughter have > almost 1 year old, and there are not sign of teeth in his mouth, can you > tell me your experience about this issue, I would like to know what to > expect about this. > > Thank you very much. > > Edgar del Cid > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
