Been to the 3rd dentist yesterday to get yet another opinion. This time I bowed to the pressure and had X-rays done on her teeth. (i know!) Turns out her teeth are in a really bad state and she's only 6. She has autism, and i guess that makes her hypothyroid or running on stress hormones and so probably things are happening in her mouth that in a healthy person wouldn't. Perhaps wrong saliva composition, lack of minerals (doesn't like milk). I started giving her egg shell calcium, and vitamins D/K, but the damage is already there. The dentist said the damage to her milk teeth is so extensive that it would require 10 or more 90 minutes visits and it would be a torture for her so dentist is certain that only way now is to fix it all at once under general anaesthetics. I'm quite shocked to be honest. Before we were told 6 cavities at other dentists, but since i refused X-rays for her they couldn't see anything else. Now almost every tooth is affected.
I gave her some homeopathic X-ray in 30 C potency and had her stare into red light for 30 mins. Anything else? I'm desperate. She may need another set of X-rays since she moved whilst having her X-rays photos taken in the process and some of her teeth are not clearly visible in the photos.
I was thinking what this could be caused by? Obviously not all autistic kids have this problem and we do give her sweet quality apple juice (but we all drink it and have perfect teeth). Dentist says zero sugar, no juice. I think that although fluoride toothpaste is not recommended, I think with the diet we eat (preschool) and imperfect hormonal balance, perhaps there is a reason to use fluoride toothpaste to kill all as fluoride free toothpaste doesn't seem to do anything. And I think maybe that's where we failed her. not giving her fluoride toothpaste. We live in EU in a country where there's no fluoride in the water so overdose is less likely. I can't think of anything else. Her 4 year old brother has perfect teeth but then again so did she when she was 4. I then didn't go back to see the dentist with her until now again.
Any thoughts appreciated!!
