Childrens teeth.

The kid must be tall to reach the doorbell - i would have thought it would have been a kick on the door Less :D
 
My lad lost his two front teeth quite early due to a fall, banging them against a pavement (his best friend pushed him actually :rolleyes:) After a year, they discoloured so he was without his two front teeth longer than normal.

The second teeth came through normally couple of years later and he produced a great set of nashers accompanied by a lovely smile. Oh no, the story does not stop there; at 25 years old ... dentist has told him showing a little bit of enamel wear .... guess what ... blooming lager !!

The one second from the right, not one but two bottles in his hands... :rolleyes: I blame myself giving him Ribena in his bottle at night whilst I read him stories ... stopped him interrupting my dramatic diatribe flow.

By the way my teeth are ruined and eventually will need false ones due to my tablets. The tablets i take and have done since i was 14 and the numerous others ive had to take on occasion have ruined my gums and are actually receding. So no matter how good ive looked after them the tablets that i have to take to try and keep me healthy have ruined my teeth.
 
So my question is (and i havn't google yet) apart from natural decay or parents not brushing these kids teeth,why else would a 5 year old or under have more than 2 teeth out?

Dentures?:D

i wasnt having a go at you! was just saying........ some parents dont realise that there is sugar in milk.... anything that ends in 'ose is usually sugar.... lactose, fructose, glucose etc

I didnt think you were having a go hon,just saying what i did x
 
good, just sounded like you were being defensive, thought you'd got the wrong idea....
 
Not at all :)
I put this thread on here so i could learn-and that i am doing :)
I used to be REALLY careful what i gave Jack to eat,careful of his environment,careful of everything but i think its when i got depression that i gave it all up and just did what was easiest and required the least effort.
I'm going to go back to being careful now im all happy again and not just 'coping' with life, but enjoying it......thanks for everyones replies :)
 
chickpox can make tooth enamel weaker, so says my dentist.
I dont think sugar has anything to do with the state of childrens teeth these days, before people went health mad kids (being us lot) ate allsorts!
people dont give sugery drinks to babies anymore so it cant be that!

I think kids teeth are poor because
1. we dont have school dentists anymore, some people dont have any dentist at all.
2. fruit! 5 a day, that was unheard of when i was a kid! acids in fruit can be just as harmfull as sugar.
3. chickenpox and over brushing!
well there just my thoughts!
BUT my brother is 28, has beautiful teeth and NEVER brushed them! i brushed at least twice a day, always, and my teeth are useless
 
Oh God, I've looked after my teeth all my life. I'm 65 now and my teeth are very strong - but my gums need to come out. You can't win!

My children all have strong teeth, as has my grandson, but my poor granddaughter has had 4 fillings and she's only 8. She has never been given sweet foods or drinks, only gets sweets once or twice a week, only had a dummy sporadically until she was 15 months old, when she finally spat it out with disgust, and eats lots of fresh fruit and veg. She brushes regularly and does everything right. It appears to be the luck of the draw.

Im convinced mine are weak cos i over-brush them :(
My mums are the same-our teeth chip really easily and are what my dentist described as moth-eaten :(
Yet my filthy brothers have strong teeth n they hardly brush their teeth-dirty lads ewww
 
Kitty, I kid you not but, I had 16 teeth out as a child. They were done in 3 sets of 4 and 2 sets of 2!!!!!!!!

I had a double set of teeth which was discovered on x-ray, as my adult teeth grew they had to be removed to allow the 2nd set of adult teeth to come down.

If I hadn't have had them removed I would now be sooooooooo goofy that I would be able to eat an apple through a barbed wire fence.:D

I don't know how common extra teeth are but this could be a reason for children having several teeth removed together.
