teeth emerging translucent -rapid decay

[Skiesmama]

This is a friend of mine's toddler - my kids have had decay issues, but never quite like this, so I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas.

She's 16 months old. Teeth have been decaying since not long after eruption. THe teeth are transparent. MOlars just came thru, and in 2 weeks they were already pitted. mama is doing everything she can think of diet-wise. I think they're gluten free now too.

I've seen teeth decay fast, but I've not seen translucent teeth.

Any ideas?

Thanks

mi paste.

it's a remineralization paste that has bio-available calcium and phosphorus. you can also get the plus formula with fluoride if she's into that.

also, raw cheese before bed after brushing. it's alkaline and it raises the pH of the mouth so the acid can't eat away at the teeth. there's a study somewhere showing how this helped but i can't rememebr where.

we're dealing with decay issues as well and i really really think the mi paste is helping. the cheapest place i've found it is on ebay.

good luck!

Thanks - I'd forgotten about MI paste - used it for a while, but then had to stop do to dairy issues. I'd forgotten about the cheese thing too - seh can have dairy too, so I'll have to tell her.

My teeth vary in how translucent they are, for me I see a difference with a combination of the various nutrients mentioned in the Healing Cavities sticky, mostly a combo of a multi-mineral supp (Perque bone guard forte tablets crushed with a coffee grinder), vitD (Carlson), and vit K2 (Thorne liquid K2 drops or Carlson capsules). I can't supp with CLO right now because it makes my teeth more sensitive and more translucent, and I think the issue is that I'm really low in vitamin D (I know I need more A, I just think I need the D first). I'm doing it mostly with supps : but I think there's a lot to be said for doing a combo of supps and food (supps because we can be so deficient that catching up is just too difficult with food only).
