Permanents Come in?  post #1 of 4 Thread Starter   My 4 year old
has two very rotten top front teeth. He was nursed until he was
2. At 2 his teeth were pearly white. Once he started drinking
the water (we had well water) his teeth began to rot. We found
out later the cause of rot was the well water - very high iron
amongst other things. So now his two front teeth are exactly
half 'brown' and the bottom half white. It looks like the white
has been completely chipped off to expose the brown. Anyhow,
constant brushing hasn't caused any improvement. I have begun to
add cell salts and xylitol toothpaste. My question is...Can I
keep doing this and hang on till he begins to lose his teeth
being that he's 4?  Can his brown teeth permanently damage his
permanent teeth. My mom suggests to wait until his permanents
come in. Meanwhile
