Hi,
This is my first post and am desperate for some advice.
My 8 yr old son has real problems with his teeth. Ive been told by different dentists that he has hypomineralisation or hypoplastia. Despite his baby teeth being perfect his adult teeth have come through with pits, grooves and white spots.?
His bottom two front teeth look relatively ok but tend to get a lot of calculus on sides and back.
(rather stupidly ) I took a pick to try to remove some of it that was stuck to the side ( as I cannot get a dental appointment due to current lockdown!) and it came off, but I think the tooth/ enamel was crumbling away too as there seems to now be an indented area?
Could I have scraped off the enamel with it? (I dont think I pressed overly hard but the pick had a sharp point. )
Im now terrified ive damaged his teeth further ? Im so angry at myself...
Thank you for any info or advice
