I have a 3 yr old and she has bottle rot on her two front teeth. It is not that bad. But I do not want it to affect her secondary teeth. I do not have insurance and I can't afford to go to a dentist. Can any body out there help me!!!

I think you have no other route than to go to a dentist. Can you get your daughter on medicaid? If so they will pay the entire bill. It's worth checking into. Good luck!

Try to get her of the bottle we set a goal with our daughter that she was no longer a baby and needed to be like other children eating solids mashed and drinking from a childs cup with at top on it like a spout on a kettle you can buy really good ones these days which if dropped dont spill out everywhere as they are only baby teeth dont worry about that at all the new teeth as she grows older will not be affected make sure she drinks milk as well as water .With the goa we set with her we let her through it in the rubbish so she new she was growing up to be a big girl now. Ha Ha.

Okay, first off, I imagine that you put her in bed with her bottle. More than likely with milk or juice, which would rot her teeth out. If it is needed, they are supposed to have WATER only in the night time bottle to go to bed with. She is a little too old for the bottle too. And I'm sorry if I sound rude, but when she first started to get her teeth, did you even brush them?
The only solution to your problem is to get her to a dentist. They more than likely NEED to be pulled.

Alot of colleges with Dental programs have a free clinic that you can go to. It is imperative that this be taken care of. Cavities in the baby teeth will affect the adult teeth. My son had 4 teeth taken out when he was two, also had two crowns, and multiple fillings. He hasn't had a cavity since and he is 5 and a half now.

ok..first off, she is way too old to be using a bottle...get rid of that thing immediately...throw them all in the trash...People think I'm crazy for saying this..but please dont ever give your 3 yr old Coke or Gatorade...they are very very bad for their teeth!! I have a 4 yr old niece who drinks coke and kool aid all day long and already has cavities...at 4! It's very important for her to learn now how to make healthy choices in eating and drinking so that when she does get her permanent teeth she doesnt ruin them at a young age...most states have programs set up for people who don't have insurance..you might check with your local health department.

Most communities have some sort of low-cost or free dental care for uninsured people who can't afford to pay for dental care. Look into it, call around to different social service agencies and get the information you can. Your child's pediatrician should also know some place you can go. I hope you try to figure out a way to get insurance though, you are already getting a taste of what happens if you don't have it, but you never know what could happen, she's a kid and they are accident-prone!

Make sure that you are not sending her to bed with a bottle. Also make sure that she is not getting juice all day long. You may want to limit her juice to 1 bottle with half juice and half water only 1 time per day and the rest of the day give her just water. Please understand that juice usually has as much or more sugar then a can of coke. So if she is getting allot of juice ask yourself if you would give her that much coke. From what I understand that is an excess sugar problem.

As different persons have reported. you are able to desire to touch DFS. As a responding officer, there is no longer something somewhat i could do to the 8 12 months previous different than draw up a document and deliver it to kinfolk court. In Missouri there are basically specific circumstances as quickly as we are able to take an 8 12 months into custody....and this does not be one those. And maximum different states are an identical way. The Police could have stated as DFS themselves. yet you additionally can accomplish that your self in case you desire. If the police did no longer, then a minimum of a document is made. And in the event that they did, it in no way hurts if 2 comments are made. If the 8 12 months previous is doing that on your baby, then there is amazingly intense probability that there is something very undesirable occurring with him. He does not would desire to be punished, he desires expert help and the kin ought to be investigated.

Your local heath department should have a dentist. And they go by income so you won't have to pay as much. I don't know if there is anything you can do about it at home.
