Help!!! My 7 month old daughter has two
teeth. They look great from the front
but on the back side they have small black
spots. We have been brushing them with
water and a baby tooth brush and just
recently got baby toothpaste. What is
this caused by and is there anything we
can do to correct it

I presume your daughter has two lower or
upper incisors?
Brushing your daughters teeth with a soft
tooth brush with a flouride toothpaste is
the best way to protect her teeth along
with a healthy diet.
Her teeth should be the same color all
around, if you suspect she has small areas
of decay, it would generally be
recommended that you take her to your
local dentist for a check up.
Normally babies require a dental check at
1 year of age or six months after their
first tooth appears. But in some cases
it is wise to go earlier.
