8 weeks ago ds (6.3years) was at the dentist, check up clear as have been his previous ones... (Well except one tooth, that was cracked and needed a white filling (fell of his bike) All weekend ds was complaining of a sore mouth, never though nothing of it as his big teeth are coming threw, baby teeth coming out) etc...

However it became obvious quite fast that he had toothache and I when I looked I could not believe the state of his mouth, abscess x 3 green puss, etc... Phoned 111 yesterday and they said it wasn't an emergency just keep him topped up with pain relief and get an apt today, which my MIL took him too, dentist phones me at work stating that he needs surgery to have 4 teeth removed, once the antibiotics have kicked in. She has said she has no idea why his teeth have went into rapid deterioration however said once the teeth have been removed then he will be fine.

When asking her why his teeth have deteriorated so badly she did not have any answers, I asked that we have a dental referral to get it investigated as clearly 8 weeks from perfectly healthy teeth, to blackened teeth needs investigated... She didn't answer. Said if I had any queries/questions to phone back later... I did and I'm still waiting on the phone call (this was at 12.30pm)

Ds diet is fish, meat, root veg, goats milk (he has a very limited diet) due to multiple allergens.

We've always been told to rinse after using the steroid inhaler too. It's second nature even for the toddler now.

I hope you manage to get some info out of your dentist OP, and that the antibiotics kick in soon for your son.
