In one of his molars right at the back. There is a tiny black mark - we have just been to dentist and she said 'watch' to the nurse.
I am very annoyed at myself, and I feel guilty too. I am ashamed if I am honest. I put so much effort into making his diet healthy - all the food groups, all vits and minerals, that I have overlooked how much sugar has been on his teeth.
I asked the dentist if I made some changes and made sure he only has sweets once a week and no biscuts or ice lollys (these are the culprits I think), can it be saved and she said it won't get any worse, but it cannot get better. I just do not want him to have to go through the ordeal of having a filling. I am disgusted with myself. My poor innocent little boy and I have let him down.
Hubby and I have agreed on some changes to the house hold to prevent any more damage. I just hope we make it until his next teeth come through, and then at least the good practices we put in now will prevent any problems with his big teeth.
Thank goodness for a second chance or I don't think I could live with myself very easily.
