Hi, how far gone are you?

Are you taking and pregnancy vitamins?? If not I suggest you start, and cut back on any fizz and sugary food. Try and get some calcium into your body.

Phone dr and midwife, explain dentist has nothing to offer help wise, can they suggest anything. Express your worries... they should have a solution or something that'll help xx

If you're still happy, ask to see a different dentist as well xx

Yikes. I have heard about this happening. What is your diet like? Make sure no sugary drinks or dried fruit. That sticks to teeth and avoid candies etc. Make sure diet is high and calcium and make sure if you can to space out meals so your teeth don’t constantly have something on them. Floss twice a day, take vitamins and drink milk at least once a day or eat Greek yogurt .

Remember also not to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth. Spit the toothpaste out after brushing, and then leave it. No additional rinsing.
