My daughter has visible tooth decay on her front teeth, and a possible small spot forming into a cavity. I signed up for monthly flouride treatments and the dentist gave me a prescription flouride toothpaste. The night I used the toothpaste, I used 1/4 of what he told me. The next morning, she vomited for 4 hours straight. We are on well water, so that was the thought behind all the flouride, but I am scared to use it again.
My father was a dentist and we were on well water and never had flouride treatment, unfortunately he has passed away, so I can't get his advice.
Her history: My daughter did have an intolerance to milk, so she drinks a lot of OJ because of the calcium and vit d. She doesn't really like to drink milk now. She was entirely breastfeed until 2 1/2, she had feeding delays, so I am shocked she even has decay because she has only been eating for a year.
Anyway - can I reverse the decay (on her top front teeth) and stop the cavity from forming (on her back upper molar) without flouride?
