I would like to clarify some basic clinical concepts. Reading the article (Breastfeeding today No. 28) gives me an impression of an amalgam of three distinct diseases: caries, dental dysplasia syndrome bottle. Consider, if you will, the definitions:
cavities, of unknown etiology, is a process destroying the enamel, dentin and pulp. This process is one or more teeth without any symmetry
dysplasia is a malformation of the enamel, fragile, will disappear and leave bare brunes dans dentin that initially and then evolve into a destruction of the tooth caries. This disease is due (apart from rare hereditary forms) to a problem during pregnancy explaining attacks symmetrical: two lateral incisors or two dogs on the same jaw for example (the attacks affect easily eight to ten teeth);
the syndrome of the nipple or bottle is a destruction in a circle at the incisors and is due to excess sugar (milk sweetened with honey or pacifier).
What are the therapeutic possibilities?
for cavities, we know that there are cariogenic ages corresponding to growth spurts. It should be early, so make twice-yearly screening
care early, simpler, will be much better tolerated by young children. It could possibly make such care under general anesthesia;
dysplasia require all teeth crown reached (subject to early diagnosis), which remains prohibitively expensive in financial and heavy at medical (general anesthesia multiples).
Currently, extraction of teeth affected remains the rule, finally, the bottle syndrome is recognized by exeresis incisors often reduced to the status of snags and stopping bad habits On reading these definitions, we see that the syndrome of the bottle does not, by definition, the child within and that the frequent dysplasia is not due to food. As for the disease but rather caries accuse sugar and poor oral hygiene before shouting haro on breastfeeding.
