It's prob decay. In many offices an exam
is only around $50. I'd say it's worth the
money. Early intervention will help him
LOTS. Plus they'll prob put a lil flouride
on his other teeth to prevent further
decay.

Yea. Decay is what causes a cavity.
The way your teeth are CAN be genetic. So
if you're more prone to cavities, ANgelo
might be. THe same with his daddy!

sucks to live there man! here our kids get
free dental upto 12 yrs old...
and yes decay is when it rots...and like
sarah said it can happen even with the
most care through genes! some have hard
strong teeth naturally some do not!

dont stress theyre only milk teeth and it
can be fixed and dentist visits are
important ......once he gets his adult
teeth youll have to really bring him to
the dentist ..you dont want those
rotting..
a little advice ...since he has weaker
teeth , you might consider giving him
juice from a straw ..it doesnt stay in the
mouth like a reg cup would and the sugars
wont get on his teeth and cause acid wear.

Also, if you DO bring him to a dentist, as
them about "MI PASTE".
My mom is a dental hygientist and gave me
2 tubes to put on Oni's teeth after each
brushing. It's to protect the enamel,
especially on the newer teeth that she
gets!!
Trust me, if you're brushing twice a day,
you're doing GREAT!! A lot better than
most mommies out there.
Down here I see kids with ALL silver
teeth. And they're only 2/3 years old!
It's sad!

I'm not 100% sure. But I don't think so.
You can look, but I really think it's
something a dentist gives you.
Oh, and you're welcome!!!!
