Covid antibodies while pregnant- now 21 months old teeth are rotten

Theres got to be another reason i cant see how antibodies could cause rotten teeth

Hi Melissa. I don’t have this experience but I wanted to tell you that I know your pain about childhood with no teeth. I took care of my daughter teeth so she wouldn’t have rotten teeth like I did a as a child. She had perfect teeth without any cavities. I had a second baby last summer and felt very tired around 2 weeks pp, and decided to take my toddler to my MIL for a few hours so I can take a nap. And not even 10 min later she fell from a chair landed with her teeth on the table. She broke her front tooth in half and I had to take her to a hospital. Later she developed Ana abscess and she had to have her tooth pulled out. She is now 3 but very small to her age, and every single day someone ask me a question about what happens to her tooth, since she seem too young to loose teeth. We are currently working in getting her pedi partial (fake tooth) which will be cemented to her molars. I know they make it even for 4 front teeth. As long as there are back molars to attach it to.

I'm not sure how antibodies would effect teeth of your unborn child. I've definitely heard of other things that can make a child's teeth rot despite good oral hygiene. I honestly wouldn't attribute that to antibody Ivs. I gave it a Google and apparently sometimes certain foods can cause decay even if it's healthy, or it could be a genetic condition

Sugar is definitely the main reason for tooth decay as the bacteria on the surface of the teeth start producing damaging acids due to the sugar consumed. Babies shouldn’t have ANY sugar as it can also predispose them to type II diabetes later in life. Very sorry for the babies experience. Did the baby have fluoride varnish applied at the pediatricians office??

If baby is still nursing at night that could also be the issue. Milk can cause tooth decay in kids who are still being given it at night.

oh my what a traumatic experience! I hope that you both can look back at her childhood teeth and know you did your best ❤️ I hope we will be able to get the partial too. We have a silver fluoride treatment in his teeth now which turns all the decay black but stops the cavity from growing. I hope they can save his molars 💔 thanks for your reply

thanks for the reply. According to our pediatrician there are several antibiotics and other medications that can cause tooth trauma in a developing human- for some reason it settles in that area. There were no studies on this and from what I can find online and from the dentist and ped say there still are not. Surely it could be something else but I just can’t help but wonder 🤔

antibodies and antibiotics are completely different so I wouldn’t chalk it up to the antibodies you received
