The best brand out there (apparently) is Green Pastures fermented cod liver oil/butter oil blend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546541 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:32:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: my sister and mom take that and a local nutritionist is always posting about the healthy benefits of taking that... Hmmm maybe I should look into that! Thanks for the idea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546522 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:52:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 546522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this same exact thing on my front teeth from when they (my adult front teeth) grew in until high school. I was told by dentists that they were calcium deposits and it was just cosmetic. They faded as I got older, and when I whitened my teeth in college, they disappeared entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546517 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:45:07 +0000 pastemoo 546517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm. My own teeth have white stripes..... my LO still has no teeth. I don't know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546514 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:40:53 +0000 heartonastring 546514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Google fermented cod liver oil. There's tons of info out there about it and remineralizing teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546418 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:00:55 +0000 Maysprout 546418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It's probably nothing big, but might as well talk to someone who knows teeth well. I doubt it's anything you did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546401 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:47:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I'm wondering if Cobi's erupted like this too - he's only had his teeth for about 6 months and I never really looked that closely at them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546399 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:45:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 546399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: like I said, my daughters teeth Erupted like that. Nothing we did caused it. I suspect I didn't get enough calcium during pregnancy. It's really not that big of a deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546388 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:37:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @Maysprout: that just makes me feel like *I'm* doing something wrong!!! I swear I brush his teeth every night (I can't floss at this point), only feed him produce, legumes and VERY limited grains and no sugar, etc... :( </p> <p>yeah I'm researching dentists now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546384 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:33:54 +0000 Maysprout 546384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen it in my LOs teeth but I think we'll probably take a visit to the dentist soon anyways.<br /> But demineralization is another word for tooth decay so I'd get it checked out. I think at this age it's usually what type of bacteria is inhabiting your mouth, everyone has bacteria but some are less good than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546288 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:16:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 546288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: There are cosmetic things, but we give a multivitamin, brush twice a day, floss once a day and things have gotten better over time. You hardly notice it any more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546282 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:12:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: is there anything you can do for it?</p> <p>@MrsRcCar: someone asked me if he's been on antibiotics, but he's never had a need for them ever, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546250 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:39:51 +0000 MrsRcCar 546250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same thing on my teeth. The dentist told me it is calcium deposits in my teeth. However my teeth are also discolored from repeated use of antibiotics as a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546180 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 16:42:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 546180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's usually actually demineralization which is sometimes but rarely caused by fluorosis. My daughter's teeth came in like this, but have gotten better over time. We have her dentist watch closely.</p> <p>Here's a link: <a href="http://www.mchoralhealth.org/HeadStart/FAQs/HSFAQ_2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mchoralhealth.org/HeadStart/FAQs/HSFAQ_2.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-lines-on-my-babys-teeth#post-546065 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:21:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little worried about this especially after reading Mrs. Scooter's post on Fluoride (<a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/25/fluoride-to-supplement-or-not-to-supplement/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/25/fluoride-to-supplement-or-not-to-supplement/</a>), but I wonder if it's even possible for get fluorosis this early - he's had his two top teeth for 6 months.<br /> We have city water and I looked it up, it has fluoride in it. I know drs/dentists recommend fluoride water or supplements but I'm wary of it all as it is. But we don't have a water filter or distiller so whenever DS drinks water (a little every day), I'm sure he's getting fluoride.</p> <p>But is it even fluoride? Could it be something else entirely?!? I have no idea!</p> <p>Has this happened to anyone else? Should I take him to a children's dentist? </p> [attach=1597/13/mhlxr2.600x401.DSC_0057.JPG]
