Not at all :)
I put this thread on here so i could learn-and that i am doing :)
I used to be REALLY careful what i gave Jack to eat,careful of his environment,careful of everything but i think its when i got depression that i gave it all up and just did what was easiest and required the least effort.
I'm going to go back to being careful now im all happy again and not just 'coping' with life, but enjoying it......thanks for everyones replies :)

chickpox can make tooth enamel weaker, so says my dentist.
I dont think sugar has anything to do with the state of childrens teeth these days, before people went health mad kids (being us lot) ate allsorts!
people dont give sugery drinks to babies anymore so it cant be that!

I think kids teeth are poor because
1. we dont have school dentists anymore, some people dont have any dentist at all.
2. fruit! 5 a day, that was unheard of when i was a kid! acids in fruit can be just as harmfull as sugar.
3. chickenpox and over brushing!
well there just my thoughts!
BUT my brother is 28, has beautiful teeth and NEVER brushed them! i brushed at least twice a day, always, and my teeth are useless

Oh God, I've looked after my teeth all my life. I'm 65 now and my teeth are very strong - but my gums need to come out. You can't win!

My children all have strong teeth, as has my grandson, but my poor granddaughter has had 4 fillings and she's only 8. She has never been given sweet foods or drinks, only gets sweets once or twice a week, only had a dummy sporadically until she was 15 months old, when she finally spat it out with disgust, and eats lots of fresh fruit and veg. She brushes regularly and does everything right. It appears to be the luck of the draw.

Im convinced mine are weak cos i over-brush them :(
My mums are the same-our teeth chip really easily and are what my dentist described as moth-eaten :(
Yet my filthy brothers have strong teeth n they hardly brush their teeth-dirty lads ewww

Kitty, I kid you not but, I had 16 teeth out as a child. They were done in 3 sets of 4 and 2 sets of 2!!!!!!!!

I had a double set of teeth which was discovered on x-ray, as my adult teeth grew they had to be removed to allow the 2nd set of adult teeth to come down.

If I hadn't have had them removed I would now be sooooooooo goofy that I would be able to eat an apple through a barbed wire fence.:D

I don't know how common extra teeth are but this could be a reason for children having several teeth removed together.
