14 month old rotting teeth help?!

Hey everyone, I'm in desperate need of some advice or information. My son is 14 months old. Since he started teething we've been soo careful to look after his teeth as advised by the NHS. Brush twice daily with a baby friendly toothpaste/brush. He only ever drinks water or breastmilk. Doesn't eat sugary food unless its fruits. So I was devastated to see he has yellow stains on his two front teeth! At first when I noticed but I thought okay let me change the brush and the paste but nothing has worked I also feel a small pit on his right tooth. I called 111 because due to covid-19 no dentist are currently open and they told me it could be enamel hypoplasia but no way of knowing for sure. Please someone help me? Is this enamel hypoplasia or is it florousis? Any help would be great! Thank you

@DishRanAwayWithTheSpoon I will be sure to be careful with the snacks! And that's great! I'll give the mousse a little go! Thank you for your advice and reassurance x

DD has no enamel on two of her teeth. She is 3 now and they have practically worn down to nothing but dentist told us absolutely not to worry if she's not in pain or getting any infections. The teeth will fall out and the adult ones should be fine. DD was poorly when born and on a lot of antibiotics so I'm guessing that's the reason for it.

@RaspberryBubblegum yes our little one was on many antibiotics when he was very young. Thank you for your response. Can't wait to take him to a dentist when all this clears up. How your all staying safe during this time x
