Hey Teuchter, I have a question about teeth and thought you'd be able to help.

Took t'Boy for his first visit to the dentist today - he was brilliant. Opened his mouth really wide and was generally excited about the whole thing. Sadly though, when she looked in his mouth the first thing she said was to ask if he had had a lot of antibiotics because the enamel hasn't formed properly on his molars. He has, all those chest infections then the super-strength ones after the chicken pox spot got infected.

I'm distraught, he has always been really good at brushing his teeth - does it himself in the morning and then I do it properly at night. He never has sweets and only drinks milk or water and has been having those out of a cup since he was about 11 months. He has a lot of fruit, but I thought that was a good thing! Dentist said he shouldn't have fruit as snacks. She did say that the good brushing is why they haven't already rotted out of his head smiley - sadface

I feel like I must have somehow got everything wrong and feel awful about itsmiley - wah Is there anythign I can do to fix it? Or make sure it doesn't happen to his adult teeth?
