Hi! I really need some help! I would like to receive an advice from mums who have had the same problem...
My 15 months old baby has been breastfed since she was born. She is not bottle fed and doesn't use dummy. She eats fruits, veggies and a balanced diet (no sweets at all). Her upper teeth have a brown color and the dentist pediatrician conclusion, after a Rx, is that she has a condition called Enamel Hypoplasia and the suggested procedure is to extract her 4 teeth.
I think this is a very drastic decision as we are talking about the teeth, which are very important for talking and for the psycologically wellbeing of my daughter (imagine a child without any tooth until 7 years old!) I think there must be another option, a less traumatic way to help her.
Please, if you know any mum, through this community, who has had a similar experience, tell them I would like to know if there is a dentist paediatrician who is also breastfeeding friendly, as they are also very convinced that the breastmilk causes tooth decay because of the sugar and that I need to stop breastfeeding her, in order to avoid that the infection might get to the permanent teeth. I did a research and many scientific papers say that there is no proof that breastfeeding, even frequent breastfeeding at night causes the problem.
Thanks so much for your support!
