My daughter is 9 years old. Her six year old molars erupted about age 6 or 7 and were immediately diagnosed with enamel deficiencies. I do not know the exact terminology. They look stained, and they are sensitive.
I am looking for a parent that has dealt with this problem or anyone who has recommendations.
We have been able to keep these teeth from developing cavities, however, she says they are sensitive to cold and does not like the dentist. However, we go every six months. The family dentist is referring us to see a pediatric dentist. I have visited one before when this first occured and she had no recommendations, I am tired of people asking if I took something while pregnant. Id did not. She is not malnurished, and the only thing we can think of is she had a lot of ear infections in her early years.
Regardless, I wish I knew what to do with her. I don't want to waste my time with other pediatric dentists who sit and blame me. I want to fix the problem and help my daughter. I also want her teeth to look normal and do not want her teased with stainless steel crowns.
If you have any recommedations, I would really appreciate it! I live in Southern CA.
