Help- my 11 year old has 7 new cavities in the past 6 months!!! I
first took him to the dentist at 3, because I could actually see
cavities. It's the same every check up. I've taken him to two
pediatric dentists and asked his doctor about it. His father had
dentures by 18 years old-I asked if he inherited some sort of dental
problem. I used steroid inhalers for asthma while I was pregnent with
him-I asked if it weakened his teeth.  He never drank a bottle, drank
juice from a cup and now that he's older we have never had soda in our
house. He uses a sonic toothbrush, but is not the best flosser. I've
been told by all the professionals that he needs to brush better. I
know there's more to it than that, I know he eats well and brushes
well, better than his siblings whose teeth are not that bad. Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated, hopefully before he loses all
his teeth.
