My DS baby teeth came through with holes in them. My dentist told me it was quite rare and usually affects adult teeth. They came through like that, it wasn't like food was rotting them. He had check ups every three months, the enamel was very soft and they progressively worsened. He fell at around age two and broke several teeth and they were removed.
He now has a mixture of baby and adult teeth. His baby teeth don't fall out properly and the dentist eventually takes them out when they are in the way of the adult teeth (not sure if this is related to the weak enamel problem or not).
His adult teeth now appear to be dissolving similar to his baby teeth did. We have a new dentist now, we have moved and his previous dentist has retired. I've told them about his baby teeth problem but they won't accept that this could be an actual thing and just keep telling me it's decay related to his diet etc. I KNOW that it's not. I remember how immediately as his teeth came through they looked strange and I took him straight away to my dentist who told me that it was a rare ish problem that people sometimes have. Further, I know his diet is ok and I'm meticulous about him brushing his teeth. I'm really quite worried that there is an actual problem with his enamel but the dentist just won't take me seriously.
Does anyone know if this is an actual condition? I'm seeing the dentist again today and would like to try and discuss us with her again. Thanks
