My 9 month old nephews teeth are kinda green, rotten looking....HELP why is this happening?

His teeth appear to have a rotton look to them but they are not rotten. His mom started brushing his teeth with non flouride toothpast as soon as his teeth came out at about 5-6 months...I think it may have messed up the enamel on his teeth. He doesnt eat any table food, he breastfed for 6 months and eats regular babyfood and formula...what can be causing this.

I'm surprised his Dr hasn't said anything about it. Check with City Hall to find out about water test results for his area. There may be too much fluoride in the water. We had a problem with that in one of the towns I lived in. We couldn't drink tap water, it had to be bought. A pain, but better than looking like you didn't own a toothbrush!
Reply:does she prop him with a bottle in the crib at bedtime or naps? if so the sugars in the milk will stay on his teeth and cause tooth decay. this is the number one cause of tooth decay in infants. in addition to this. it is also a choking hazzard.
Reply:If he is drinking formula or milk in a bottle at night or nap time this could be causing the rotten or green looking teeth.
Reply:Yes like the previous posters said, it does sound like "bottle rot".
Reply:she should give him either beech nut or nursery water with added flouride to drink in between brest feeding because it cleans away residue , it was made specifically for that purpose , u can find it at any food store...it's regular water just for babies
Reply:Well my sister works for a dentist. And she has told me 3 important things. 1 only brush baby's teeth with water till after 2 years. 2 Baby's should never go to bed with bottles of juice. It good balanced diet. And if she is still breast feeding, eating plenty of the right food.
Reply:Tell her before he goes to bed, either give him a little water in his bottle/sippy cup or wipe his teeth with gauze. I think they even make tooth and gum cleaner for babies..its at wal mart.





I have a 9.5 month old and I keep a few bottles of water in the mini fridge in our room, and when he wakes up through the night I give him water....because he only takes a ounce of it anyways and that way it cleans out the formula he has had in his mouth
Reply:Sugary foods, sodas,and even lemons and limes can cause that. He needs to see a dentist immediately before it becomes painful.
