Your poor little guy... and poor mama! My son just turned 3 and had an injured, abscessed tooth pulled a few weeks ago. He just had light sedation, but I know how your mama heart felt just sitting in the waiting room. I do not think your post would cause hysteria AT ALL. I think it's a good warning for nursing moms to be aware of nurser's mouth. And your experience will possibly help other moms to avoid going through the same thing. I am expecting my 3rd baby next month and I'll definitely keep this in mind. I've also found some helpful basic info on caring for kids' teeth on this Mom's Guide, if you want to check it out (http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/). Keep up the good work! :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235043152321343813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-6794026700973988902011-03-01T16:10:23.337-05:002011-03-01T16:10:23.337-05:00You have to do what, with what?

I've nursed my two elder boys and they did develop some cavities as time pass but not as severe as in your kids's case. For #3 I'm using edible toothpaste for her (she hasn't has teeth as yet) .and will be monitoring very closely once her teeth pop out. I've haven't really tried those teeth wipes..and wonder if by doing so will really reduce the chances of getting cavities..Dominique Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597686512878262017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-29042773630760368652011-02-20T13:29:09.802-05:002011-02-20T13:29:09.802-05:00Now following you from the Sunday Strolling Blog H...Now following you from the Sunday Strolling Blog Hop!

My DD doesn't have teeth yet... but I try to wipe her mouth throughout the day, especially to help get the chunky spit up off her tongue. I did read that wiping their gums after nursing is good practice to get them used to it before brushing begins.<br /><br /><br /><br />~Darcy @ Tales From the Nursery~<br />www.darcyandbrian.comDarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14656959187575717982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-31133354272296501692011-02-18T20:28:43.914-05:002011-02-18T20:28:43.914-05:00Thanks for sharing your experience!

I am not a mom but my sister and my nephew went through this very thing! She never knew this could happen either! Poor little B went through getting all of his front teeth filled and capped. Had she known to wipe his teeth after a feeding at night he would not have had this issue. It is very important to get the word out there about this and I applaud your efforts! You are not a bad mom because of this!! My sister is one of the most wonderful mothers I have ever met and she had the same issue! You are not causing panic or hysteria, that is just a silly notion.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791151691506317214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-3143331036131302312011-02-16T11:42:58.927-05:002011-02-16T11:42:58.927-05:00I highly considered deleting the previous comment ...I highly considered deleting the previous comment on here from 'A Non-militant mom' simply because she accused me of being uninformed and that I would cause hysteria (leaving links that support whaterver opinion is). She must have felt some strong reason to miss the forrest throught the trees in my post...but not strong enough to leave a way to contact her and discuss it. <br />I have since changed the settings here just because if you want to tell me my personal experience is all wrong and I am going to cause a panic then at least have the fortitude to identify yourself. <br />Interestingly enough it sounds as though she doesn't want nursing moms to know that their babies can get tooth decay. Isn't that one of the things I wrote about? My dentist clearly said that anything negative associated with nursing was fought by extreme pro-nursing people. Even though nursing is not negative and tooth decay is not a reason not to nurse! So I guess I found myself an activist pro-nurser that I mentioned in my post. <br />Okay. Well I am leaving it because I am not wrong in my personal experience. It happened to my son. One out of five children who nursed in our home. Thats 20% in my house and that's enough of a reason to fire me up and get the word out to take precautions. That's it, precautions!<br />Take your child to the dentist at age 1 (its a short appointment introducing baby to dentist and a quick check of the teeth) and wipe your babies teeth off as they are sleeping in your arms after they nursed. That's it. Doesn't sound like panic or hysteria to me. Does it to you?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872147409059071042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-18447543580549201892011-02-16T10:34:28.668-05:002011-02-16T10:34:28.668-05:00Do some research before you start worrying too muc...Do some research before you start worrying too much about this or inadvertently contributing to hysteria about it, please.<br /><br />http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/120/4/e944<br /><br />http://www.askdrsears.com/faq/bf3.asp<br /><br />http://www.kellymom.com/bf/older-baby/tooth-decay.html<br /><br />http://www.brianpalmerdds.com/caries.htm<br /><br />http://www.brianpalmerdds.com/bfeed_caries.htmA non-militant momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639229484388989842.post-66263737592264098042011-02-16T10:25:03.182-05:002011-02-16T10:25:03.182-05:00Thank you so much for sharing this.
