It sounds like you need to see a dentist with him for some advice. Doctors are unlikely to be able to do much I wouldn't have thought. Who gave you this diagnosis or are did you conclude this from looking on the internet or similar? I would have thought this was pretty unusual in baby teeth, more common in the adult teeth. More likely an enamel hypoplasia where the teeth didn't actually form properly, perhaps due to illness or certain medicines.

Like beautifulgirls I think you should see a dentist - doctors aren't interested in teeth.

My DGS had enamel hypoplasia and like your DS his teeth came through and looked beautiful, but just crumbled away! Awful.

It's all dental related. Your local dentist will refer you to the dental hospital. Poor DGS needed most of his teeth removed except 4 molars Sad under general anaesthetic.
