Re: Due for dental checkup...decay

[Guest guest]

The brown around the gum line is the beginning of decay. My

daughter had 2 root canals and 4 stainless steel caps placed under

general anesthesia at age 4.

From now on, I would highly suggest that you (not he) brush his

teeth. My daughter had sensitivities and we didn't push the

toothbrush issue as much as we should have. After the root canals,

I just put her in the " dental position " with her head in my lap and

brushed her teeth thoroughly regardless of her screaming. In about

2 weeks, she stopped screaming and it became a routine where I would

count to 40 while brushing. So when I reached 40, she knew I was

done.

You should brush (for at least 2 minutes) and floss his teeth twice

a day.

Anything he does on his own is just for fun/practice.

We stopped using Weleda 'cause it wasn't protecting her teeth and

switched to Spry tooth gell for babies. It has xylitol which works

as well as fluoride.

I wouldn't get fluoride treatment because it is neurotoxic.

Dental cleaning/check up is fine but it doesn't replace good oral

hygiene (you brushing and flossing his teeth). It's good to take

care of any decay/cavity as soon as possible before it gets big(not

what we did). Composite fillings are fine.

Also avoid giving him any further sticky foods like raisins unless

you brush and floss immediately after. Good luck.

The brown around the gum line could also be bismuth toxicity. This can be a sign

of high bismuth, I have read.

Hi there:

I just got back from meeting with my son's pediatric dentist. They

are special ordering a composite for me based on results from

Clifford Researching, a blood test that indicates sensitivites to

substances. Surprisingly, had my son not tested sensitive to

aluminum, that would have been used in his treatment. So please be

careful and ask for MSDS for the composites as well as the bonding

agent. The bonding agent they were going to use had aluminum and

fluoride in it. Now, my dentist is going to investigate other

options. I'll post with what she finds.
