    Do you have the reason for why his teeth are unhealthy so fast in the first place? Did the dentist tell you, or do you know?

    How compliant is he with letting you brush for him? Black walnut works wonders for healing teeth and gums, but it tastes terrible. I brush with baking soda, colloidal silver and sea salt. My hygeinist used to tell me that I had pockets forming. They have shrunk and are no longer there after brushing with this solution.

    Hey there, sorry you have to go through this. My daughter's back molars turned a little yelllow from all the juice I gave her as a child. She's now 17 and she's fine. I know how you feel.....
    Wheatgrass poultice on the gums is said to restore gums. But it has to be done a lot. You would juice the grass and the pulp that comes out is dunked in the juice and placed on the gums. Holding it there for a bit. Changing it a couple of times. How do you think he would handle that?
    Teeth are hereditary. Mine are very sensitive and we produce a lot of acid in our saliva. You can only do what you can do. I'd water down anything acidic you give him. I wish you the best with this. Try not to beat yourself up, ok? Sending you tons of light.
    I'd rather juice my grass! :cool:

    I also paid for expensive work to be done on my son at that age. He refused to sleep without the bottle in his mouth and it rotted his teeth. Of course I was a bad mommie for being unable to wean him of that but that kid has always been more stubborn than his parents and in many ways other than that one.

    I wanted him to have the chance for the adult teeth to grow without rot since it was explained to me that the baby rot could affect the adult teeth under the gum.

    Well his adult teeth have come in fine and I don't know if it really made any difference.

    Bad teeth are often passed down as a result of the mamas malnutrition in pregnancy. There are several great books on the subject. Even those of us that eat remarkably well can be malnourished if we have absorption issues. I ate raw and until I really healed I wasn't absorbing what I should have been. However, it's not too late by any means!

    You can remineralize teeth. Doc White's suggestion is great. I use colloidal silver and pascalite clay (a living calcium residue clay) on my kids and dd's teeth were remineralized-she had almost no enamel at all. Of course this was in combination with removing her allergens and healing her gut. Good luck! I know you will find your way around this.

    I have seen this. Certain regions alot of the people have weak teeth and scientists try to figure out if it is the heredity or something in the area that causes it. Generations of data collecting may sort it all out.

    My husband lost all his teeth to rot but his mom had great teeth till the day she died. Don't know if it came from the other side, his years boxing, his years as a POW in 'Nam . . . just don't know.
