Childrens teeth. - Page 2

My lad, (you know the one, that big brick sh't house) when he was teething kept us awake for many a night, I was selling soft drinks at the time door to door, and a customer asked why I looked so tired, after explaining about lack of sleep, she said,"Oh, that's easy to cure just dip his dummy in sugar, the sweetness will keep him quiet, it worked for our Kylie".

Kylie was a two year old, nice little girl except when she smiled, all that showed was a row of blackened rotten stumps, the odd few toffees won't cause the grief, but something like that will.

Don't beat yourself up about giving the child a few toffees, we all like treats, just make sure even at an early age their teeth are brushed regularly, after that if there are problems they are probably going to be a lot less than that poor unfortunate child will have suffered.

so the bacteria thrived on her teeth causing black stumps by the time she had them out - not pleasant and it badly affected her overall health -throat and ears
but she fine now and her mum tries anything before antibiotics so thats good

I had the doorbell fitted at knee level in case I ever locked myself out at night!
