Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hi everyone, I have another question. My child, Michael, is scheduled for dental surgery on November 10th. He has to be put to sleep at the hospital, and monitored non-stop during the procedure. He might end up having all of his teeth removed, and he is only 2 1/2. It is some rare genetic disorder the dentists do not seem to know too much about. His enamel on his teeth never formed properly, so all of his teeth rapidly wore down and decayed. The dentist says since I never gave him fluoride, it is what made the decay so bad. I never drank fluoridated water while pregant either. I had learned through my studies on fluoride that it was a poison in our tap water. I thought tap water was not safe for human consumption. He also said that my nursing him on demand and at night ( we co-sleep) contributed to the rapid decay of his teeth. I rarely gave him anything with white sugar or flour. We do not really eat candy and junk food at my house. My Mother gave him ice cream and chocolate on occassions, against my advice, saying I was going overboard about his no sugar intake. Anyways, I believe maybe I did not have the right mineral intake during my pregnancy when his teeth were developing. I only took a pre natal vitamin the doctor precribed me, mostly for my low iron. I am usually anemic. I was also wondering about the effects of coffee. The doctor told me a cup or two a day would not hurt the developing fetus inside of me, and would not hurt him while I was breastfeeding. I was always a big coffee drinker, but I cut it down to a cup a day of regular coffee while pregnant. Now I am wondering if that contributed to mineral loss in his teeth? I drank at least a gallon of water a day while pregnannt and the first 4 months of breastfeeding, but it was distilled. I had been anorexic from 15-18, not really bad though. But I was not getting good nutrition most of the time when I would eat. I drank a lot of coffee all the time, to curb my appetite and I used to take energy-weight loss supplents with ephedrine and ma huang, off and on until I became pregnant at around my 20th birth day. I thought at that time, since I was vegetarian, I was really healthy, but now I realize how wrong I was. The dentist and my family and friends tell me not to blame myself, after all i is only genetic, but I am not too sure about that. I am carrying around this huge burden of guilt now, because I believe it could have been prevented. I never imagined my child would have to go through something like this, especially at such a young age. I have very strong teeth, despite my unhealthy lifestyle. I have only had two small cavities at 20, and had them filled while pregnant. I only went to a dentist twice, as I have a lot of fear of dentists and doctors, not sure if they really know what they are doing. Anyways, I need any advice I can get about how to help his second teeth that are developing now, to be strong and healthy with all the nutrients they need, to prevent him from any future problems, if that is possible. Also, I plan on having more children in the near future, so I would like to do everything I can to prevent this from happening again. I am sorry for making this soo long, but I am very concerned, and I can not stop thinking about this. Also, if anyone on here believes in prayer, or any other spiritual practice requiring faith to help my son and I through this, please please send your love and healing energy to us or pray for us. I am believing everything will go well during surgery, but I need all the spiritual strength I can get. Thank-you so much for your time. I have a fear of speaking my feelings and fears and any problems I may be having to anyone, or asking for help. It was very difficult for me to post this, but I have no one educated in these things to talk to. Thank-you once again for your time and help. Thank-you all for this group. It has opened my eyes in so many ways. I love all of you Unconditional Love *hugs* Danielle Angelique Meeks Vegigran <vegigran wrote: <<Leave them another day.
