toothpaste?, discolored teeth - worried, not even 3 yrs old

[Guest guest]

my son will be 3 next wk and has been on scd for 6 mos. he is now

doing dmsa chelation suppositories and singulaire for last month and

the changes are incredible. it was worth waiting to start chelation

until the yeast was under control and gutt more healed. he is so tuned

in now, making animal sounds, 2 word phrases, pretend playing (eg.

talking on the play phone,etc.)

anyway, his teeth look grey and rotten. he has less sensory

integration issues now, is taking the toothbrush and playing around

with it in his mouth but no real teeth brushing going on. i scrape his

tongue once in a while with a tongue scraper to get rid of bacteria. i

won't use toothpaste due to flouride and haven't figured out how to

make b.soda toothpaste yet. i don't want to make it an unpleasant

experience holding him down. any suggestions on how to make a lg batch

of toothpaste and get a 3 yr old asd kid to brush??

the last thing we need is cavities and root canals on baby teeth.

It's the brushing that's important, according to my daughter's dentist. We've

never been able to use toothpaste... so we just use a wet brush, twice a day,

per his instructions. She's 10 and has never had a cavity. But she doesn't have

the motor skills to be able to brush for herself.... we have to do it. We sing

her favorite songs while we're brushing.... and give her lots of praise for

opening wide.
