Hi please don't judge but since a young age because of having his bottle my sons teeth have worsened by the time he was 1 and half most of his teeth were coming out crumbled and decayed. I stopped the bottle but his teeth just got worse. He is having two teeth removed but what i wanted to ask is all his front teeth are badly decayed but dont cause him any pain. Is there anyone thats ever had the front teeth capped in order to save the teeth for them to fall out naturally so the space for the big teeth are retained? I’m gutted as he starts school soon and want him to start with a positive. Sorry for the long post any replies will be highly appreciated!

No advice on capping, sorry, but have you looked into the possibility that he has enamel hypoplasia?

Hi no i have not been to dentist many times just always get the same answer that was caused by the milk pooling around front teeth when he used to have a bottle. I dont understand as many children have there bottle until 3/4. It seems to me like something has caused his enamel to weaken. My two older children have perfect teeth so don’t know whats went wrong with his. Will look into hypoplasia see if it could be that.
