QQ is low in calcium or what?
Funny, my girl does not have good teeth like me. Believe or not, I had just done a filling at one of my molar, for the first time in my whole life a few weeks ago!
I start wearing a braces only at the age of 13 (if I remember correctly) and had them removed when I was 21 (during my last year of university). Why so long, that’s because I am attached to the government dental (will put that in another story) I had 4 molars extracted in the procedure, but no cavity although wearing so many “besi” then.
Back to QQ, I was so devasted to see that mostly of her molars are partially gone! At the age of 5, she had her first very pityful root canal treatment (an unpleasant encounter in Sg.Long), and few weeks back, she had another filling in another molar (this time a very pleasant encounter at Klinik Ho & Yeoh where I will go in more details in another post). I asked the dentist if her teeth is really dirty or what, but he said its fine.
Unlike other children, she does not like sweet things and prefer plain water to sweet drinks. Wonder what could have cause her to have such weak teeth??
Does she drink a lot of milk?
Could it be the tootpaste that she uses? Toothpaste with fluoride may help but use just a pea size for every brush. My son is now 7 and his teeth has been good, no cavity and he loses his teeth naturally.
hmmm, where is this klinik ho & yeoh le?
Better find out more from the dentist so that u know how to prevent the same thing from happening to her permanent teeth.
You have such good teeth *admire*
agree with slavemum, better discuss with the dentist on preventive metods before it’s too late.
