Hi there, I hope everyone is coping okay with lockdown. I'm hoping someone on here can offer me some words of wisdom, advice or comfort regarding my daughter's teeth. I would normally have just booked her in to see the dentist however our dentist has closed for all non-emergency appointments due to coronavirus so that's not currently an option.
My daughter is 6 and is on wobbly tooth number five (front tooth at the top). She last visited the dentist about five weeks ago and apparently everything looked perfect at that check up.
We have suddenly noticed however, that she has a lot of creamy coloured deposits on her teeth more noticeable at the front but I think they're on her back ones too. But when I try to help her brush them away she is cringing in pain and saying it really hurts her teeth to brush them thoroughly. I'm not sure whether maybe she has a build up of plaque (would that be visible?) due to her not brushing properly for a while due to this tooth that's been hanging by a thread for the past couple of weeks, or whether she actually has a gum problem making it sore when she tries to brush, or whether the deposits are something else entirely.
Has anyone else ever encountered this with their kids? Thanks in advance for your help.
