lack of tooth enamel...is there something I can do???

[Guest guest]

HI all,

 

My 19 month old son has been having some problems with his teeth.

Apparently, doesn't have much for enamel on some of his teeth which is

allowing for decay and pitting to set in. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What can

I do? It also seems as though he is actually in pain when I brush his

teeth. I feel awful for him and don't want to just wait for his teeth to

fall out. I want to see if there is anyway to stop this before it gets any

worse.

 

thanks!

there is a book called Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price. This book is very thorough in describing dental degeneration and what you can do to reverse it. (correcting diet and mineral, vitamin supplements).

 

It is a small wonder anyone in America has teeth with what we put in our mouths. LOL

How was your health while pregnant with him?

Were you on any medication while pregnant with him?

[Guest guest]

Possibly a lack of calcium/magnesium, or non absorbtion?

Yes, I thought maybe something might be interfering with calcium and magnesium

absorbtion?

 

I just read that vitamin A which is found in abundance, along with lots of

calcium, in

carrots, is needed for absorbtion of minerals, and deficiency may result in

problems with

tooth enamel. (I'll send you the info privately.. )

Another thought: are you feeding your son fruit juice, or sodas or something,

in a bottle

or " sippy cup " , or even soy milk? (I just read that soy milk contains sugars)..

maybe

something the baby is drinking or eating is causing decay in his teeth? A site I

looked at

said not to allow baby to drink soy milk, except at meal times, because of the

sugars in it.

I have been meaning to get that book anyway. Sounds like now would be

a good time.

Funny you would ask that. NOT GOOD at all. I have colitis and while

I was pregnant with him, in nearly ended up spending the last

trimester in the hospital on a nutrient IV. I was on Prednisone, and

have been on and off since then. I asked the dentist about that

specifically and he said there was no way to really know, but somehow

I think it may be related. He did also mention that high fevers for

an extended period of time could do this as well. When my son was 6

months old he had a rather high fever of unknown origin for over a

week. Apparently, that would be about the same time the last of his

tooth enamel would have been forming on his baby teeth.

 

 

As far as calcium and magnesium absorptions, I wonder if acupuncture

might help him. I suppose it may, but the trick would be actually

getting him to do it!!! Definitely something to investigate.

All good ideas, but my kids rarely get juice, NEVER get sodas, have

never had bottles and the only thing that he has in a sipppy cup is

water. He is pretty proficient at drinking from a cup already, so he

only has a sippy cup when I am really busy (I know, it's terrible and

I really try not to, but my husband travels and sometimes I get

overwhelmed). Awhile back, my daughter was drinking the Silk Soy

Chocolate milk, but we have since eliminated soy in large amounts

after researching it more. My son hasn't had any that I can recall.

Basically, all they drink is water and goat's milk. Periodically,

they have juice for a " treat " , organic or course!! :-)

My son is still nursing quite a bit as well. I know that the research

says that breastmilk is good for the teeth, but I supposed I could

have toxic milk or something! I meant that as a joke, but I really do

wonder if that is possible. ANy thoughts on that one?

IBD is one of those things that can really impact a person's ability

to absorb nutrients.

When it happens, its really helps if one has a wise support group of

consultants making educated suggestions. Its very difficult to think

clearly when one isn't getting nutritional support from the food they

eat.

 

I didn't say that for you to hear. I'm sure you already know that

from experience.

 

I said that for the people on list who don't have IBD.

 

Your son's first teeth were also forming while you were pregnant.

Prednisone can drain the body of calcium.

You did what you'd been advised to do at the time. It might have

saved your life.

 

I had a neighbor once who'd been on medication through a pregnancy.

Her son's baby teeth had very little enamel on them. They started to

decay almost as soon as they emerged.

 

The poor child started nursery school with a mouth full of gold

crowns.

Fortunately he had a great grandmother from the " old country " so he

wasn't the only one in the family that looked like that.

My daughter was the same age as him. At the time she thought he was

rich kid because all his teeth were gold. (One of her reasons why

at the age of 4 she'd decided she wanted to marry him.)

 

We all wondered if he was going to be disappointed when he lost his

teeth with the gold crowns around age 7 and his secondary teeth came

in normal.

 

If I were you I'd consult a dentist about your son's teeth. Perhaps

they now have a way of protecting the first set of teeth that isn't

as drastic as getting them crowned.

If money is an issue, see if there is a dental college with a clinic.

 

Your son's adult teeth are being formed right now.

Good nutrition is very vital.

 

My mother's baby teeth were fine but it was during the depression and

she had a vitamin D deficiency as a small child. Vitamin D is very

important for calcium absorption. (Too much vit. D isn't good

either.) Her adult teeth were too enamel poor to hold a crown and

she ended up getting false ones at an early age.

 

After early childhood my mother was able to get good nutrition and,

though it wasn't soon enough to save her adult teeth, she was able

to build good bones and still has good bones at the age of 80.

 

Ask your medical doctor to run a full set of blood tests. You need to

make sure there aren't any chemical imbalances in your son's blood.

If you saw an acupuncturist, she'd probably suggest you do this also.

 

Taking your son to see an acupuncturist about this matter is not a

bad idea. See if you can find one who also is also skilled in herbs

and nutrition.

 

What ever results you get from those blood tests take with you if you

see any other integrative medicine practitioners. It might not be the

kind of information they need for an assessment but it wouldn't hurt

for them to know what ground you've already covered.

Hi there!

My daughter had this problem as well as a toddler. I can tell you

that I did not have any meds while I was pergnant, I had a routine

pregnancy and she was never allowed any drinks that were not water

or juicefrom a sippy cup. At the time we discovered the enamel

issue, she had already started eating solids and was weaned off her

bottle. (Sorry, i did not breastfeed :o/).

 

I took her to my dentist first. He recommended a pediatric

dentist. We went through 2 of them. The first one was not very

nice to her or me even. They used a pappose (sp?) to hold her

still... She cried and screamed and I got yelled at by the dentist

for tryin g to comfort her! That was a horrible experience.

 

Then, we went to the second pediatric dentist and he was great! She

sat in my lap while he looked at her teeth. He said that sometimes

it just happens for some reason. According to him, some children

are just born that way. I am sure there is some underlying reason,

but even they don't seem to know why.

 

I had her top 4 teeth crowned with silver and they put a porcelin

finish over the front. It was quite expensive, but I had really

good insurance that covered most of the expense. Her crowns were so

beautiful they took her picture for their magazine. We had a few

problems with them from wear and she did fall once causing one to

fall off and have to be put back on. Even during these procedures

she was not pappsoed by the dentist. He treated her and me very

respectfully and I was in there until she went to sleep for them to

do the work on her teeth. That is one thing I did allow was for

them to fix her teeth under anestesia (sp?). Other wise it would

have taken them much longer and then they might have had to pappose

her to keep her still. She did well with it. (Obviuosly, it is not

something to be taken without consideration of the risks.)

 

Overall, I think it was a good thing to be able to put the crowns

on. When her teeth came out, her adult teeth came in and they are

beautiful teeth with lots of enamel!! LOL!

 

At the time, I did know someone else whose son had the plain silver

crowns. He was constantly teased and made fun of by other kids at

school. So, that is why I asked for teh porcelin front to be put

on.

 

Anyways, if you do go to a dentist for her teeth, please don't let

them pappose him! They will tell you it is for his safety, but it

doesn't do anything but upset them and you needlessly!

 

Well, I hope this helps in some way!

TAke care and good luck!

Soy is not as bad as many of the websites have made it out to be.

There is a lot of misinformation on soy on the net. For instance they

claim it is a goitergen. This is true, but goitergens are destroyed

by fermentation or cooking. Soy products are almost always cooked or

fermented. Then they claim it is an antinutrient due to the phytic

acid content. What people are not being told is that phytic acid is

found in nearly all seeds/grains. Furthermore phytic acid (inositol

hexaphosphate, IP6) is sold as an anticancer compound in health food

stores. Also if the phytic acid is already saturated with minerals

the plant picked up from the soil then how can it rob minerals from

the body. They also claim that soy is high in aluminum from washing

the beans in aluminum tanks with sulfuric acid. This one is real easy

to prove false. First of all the acid would react with the aluminum

producing aluminum sulfate (alum) and lots of highly dangerous

hydrogen gas!!! Secondly, sulfuric acid is a very hygroscopic acid.

It will literally pull hydrogen and oxygen from organic substances

leaving behind carbon. My old roommate learned this the hard way when

she knocked my sulfuric acid over on the carpet. Another claim is

that I heard was that Orientals are so short due to their high intake

of soy. Pretty hard to believe considering that I was raised on soy

since I was allergic to mother's milk and cow's milk, yet I am 6'2 " .

And I do not suffer from any health problems.

Breast milk is better than any other drink for infants. Mother's milk

is not a singular milk, but rather a series of milks that change to

meet the baby's development. The original milk (colostrum) is

antibody rich, which helps to support the immune system until the

baby can develop its own immune system. Then the fat content

increases to develop the brain and the rest of the nervous system.

Then the protein content increases for muscle development. And

finally mineral content increases to meet skeletal development

demands.

In addition the mother's milk provides beneficial flora that serve

many functions. Breast feeding is especially important for babies

taken by cesarean section for this reason. During vaginal birth the

baby gets flora from vaginal excretions pushed in to the baby's mouth

during birthing. Therefore vaginal birthed babies are primarily

colonized with beneficial bacteria. Though babies taken by cesarean

section are first exposed to harmful pathogens in the hospital, and

these pathogens become the primary initial colonizing bacteria. The

good news is that breast feeding can provide beneficial flora that

can build up and displace the pathogenic bacteria.

Another note along these same lines. As I pointed out the baby

utilizes the mother's antibodies initially. In order for these

antibodies to be absorbed the gut must be permeable to these

proteins. Therefore, the gut of an infant is permeable to proteins

for the first several years of life. Why is this important? Because

dangerous foreign proteins, such as those found in cow's milk, can

also be absorbed leading to immune reactions. Therefore it is best to

breastfeed for at least the first two years of life.

All Grains, Seeds, Nuts and Beans have enzyme inhibitors in them and Soy is right up there at the top in this department (see my articles in the Files on Enzymes / Enzyme Inhibitors & the Bed Time Story on Frankenfoods). Cooking for long periods of time (several hours) does get rid of enzyme inhibitors, but does not change the acid ash characteristics of the food. Sprouting, on the other hand, not only gets rid of the enzyme inhibitors, but also changes the pH over to Alkaline, which is far more healthy and the way these foods should be taken by us humans. A couple of good books on the subject are Ann Wigmore's "The Sprouting Book" and Rita Romano's "Dining in the Raw". These contain the true data on sprouting.

 

Then there's the subject of Acid / Alkaline ratio as I briefly mentioned, but on top of all this, there's the data on GMO / GE foods. Genetically Modified Organisms / Genetically Engineered foods in this day and age are DANGEROUS!!! Just do a google search on this and you'll get more data than you could wish for. Many African and European countries have actually outlawed American imports because of this. 90% of all Soy products on the market today are GMO!!! 90%!!! And of the remaining 10%, much of this has been contaminated by the 90. Again, read my article on "The Bed Time Story / Frankenfoods" in the Files.

 

I wouldn't touch one Soy product on the market today. Not one! Nada!

 

My two cents. ;-)

I hate to say this, but even some of the stuff in health food stores is now junk as they've been infiltrated by the giant pharmaceuticals as well. You have to look at and read the labels for yourself. Don't take what anyone says as gospel including what I tell you. Look for yourself!!!

 

All Grains, Seeds, Nuts and Beans have enzyme inhibitors in them and Soy is right up there at the top in this department (see my articles in the Files on Enzymes / Enzyme Inhibitors & the Bed Time Story on Frankenfoods). Cooking for long periods of time (several hours) does get rid of enzyme inhibitors, but does not change the acid ash characteristics of the food. Sprouting, on the other hand, not only gets rid of the enzyme inhibitors, but also changes the pH over to Alkaline, which is far more healthy and the way these foods should be taken by us humans. A couple of good books on the subject are Ann Wigmore's "The Sprouting Book" and Rita Romano's "Dining in the Raw". These contain the true data on sprouting.

 

Then there's the subject of Acid / Alkaline ratio as I briefly mentioned, but on top of all this, there's the data on GMO / GE foods. Genetically Modified Organisms / Genetically Engineered foods in this day and age are DANGEROUS!!! Just do a google search on this and you'll get more data than you could wish for. Many African and European countries have actually outlawed American imports because of this. 90% of all Soy products on the market today are GMO!!! 90%!!! And of the remaining 10%, much of this has been contaminated by the 90. Again, read my article on "The Bed Time Story / Frankenfoods" in the Files.

 

I wouldn't touch one Soy product on the market today. Not one! Nada!

 

My two cents. ;-)

 

Love,
