<< I received a call from a mom today, absolutely panicked. Her 6 1/2 month
old baby is cutting his two lower teeth. Mom noticed that they are yellow
stained. She hasn't taken meds of any kind during preg. or breastfeeding.
She called the Dental Association and the person she talked to said it
sounded like "bottle caries" which of course sent this mom over the edge
because of all the nasty pictures she's seen of this. This baby is
breastfeeding and gets pumped milk sometimes from dad. Can anyone comment on
this, perhaps, Dr. Page? She has an appointment with a pediatric dentist
next week. >>
Did the baby possibly have an infection early on - that can sometimes lead to
teeth becoming mottled?
