Hi advice needed!! I took my 5 year old to the dentist and was told he needed 3 fillings and a tooth out on his baby teeth, I was horrified. She asked what his diet was like. I told her he likes to drink a lot of milk through out the day and after we brush his teeth at night he has a little bit. She told us this was the main problem as milk can decay your teeth if it is always on them. He is also always hungry so has little snacks through out the day. We have always brushed his teeth morning and night and not let him do it by himself.
Over the last 2 weeks we have changed the following things on her advice
Brush his teeth before eating breakfast
only have a sweet treat straight after dinner
Fruit to be given with meals
Eat a small piece of cheese after lunch and dinner
Milk only to be drunk with meals
Drink lots of water
He does have some snacks but he has been having carrot, cucumber, tomatoes, bread sticks etc.
We have done all this and now his front teeth have white patches on them, they did have a little before but they have got worse!! Has anyone else had this problem?
