let the dentist you work for give advice, hygenist. Like srsly...you'd think someone in the line of work could read the captions on YouTube at least. 😕
I don't work for a Dentist. Also, learn to spell.

Cus he's trippin balls all the time and runs into things teeth first.
i'm gonna go with parental neglect

Oh please! :disgust:

Our son, by age 5 had horrendouse tooth decay caused by genetics. He drinks no soda, eats no candy, and brushes twice a day. He still needed extensive work done to prevent infection from his rotting teeth. His adult teeth are in perfect shape.

Tip: Sometimes, you should keep your ignorance and general retardation under wraps, rather than share it with everyone.

I do find it hard to believe that your son eats no sweets. No sweetened cereals? No fruit juices? Also note that cooked starches can lead to cavities just as surely as sugar can. In fact, such cooked starches as breads, crackers, pasta, pretzels and potato chips often take longer to clear the mouth than sugars, increasing the risk of tooth decay.

"Tip: Sometimes, you should keep your ignorance and general retardation under wraps, rather than share it with everyone."
Uncalled for. Totally. I would be glad to answer any dental questions you have.

You should find it hard to believe, as I never said that. :roll:

My wife had the same condition, so when our children were born, we sought dental advice at soon as possible. We followed the exact same instructions both times, our daughter having perfect teeth, our son having brown, decaying teeth by the age of 3.

And get off your high-horse. When you jump in with "I'll bet that's due to parental neglect," I will call you out on your ignorance. You have no information on the situation and certainly nothing leading you to that particular conclusion. It's knee-jerk assumptions like that that gets CPS called on good parents.

I said the reason I suspected neglect is because I see it all the time. I said I was wrong this time.

I have never called CPS on a parent. Puhleese, spare me your drama. 😕

Yes, decay looks brown/black. I'm still not buying that your son's teeth just instantly decayed. You never answered.... did he take a bottle to bed with him?

Drama? Too rich! :laugh:

I appreciate your concern, but I consult with a Dentist who's degree I can see in his office. I tend to not to take "internet experts" too seriously when my kids' well-being is at stake. (Not that I'm doubting your expertise, just that I'm not particualry interested.)

But to satisfy your curiosity, no - never a bottle to bed. I already said, we had a doctor's advice on their full range of dental care for the first 5 years. So to reiterate, not all child dental issues are the fault of poor parenting.

Why do you have to reiterate that when I've said twice I realize the case in the OP wasn't the parent's fault? I could've said that in a split second had I had the child in my chair like the Dentist you take your child to.

It's alright if you're not interested in what I have to say, although you sure DID seem interested. I'm more than an "internet expert". Thank you very much.

I never said all child dental issues are the fault of poor parenting. I do maintain that dental issues arise from a lack of oral hygiene or something faulty in the diet or a few other factors I won't get into, but not just genetics alone. A supernumerary tooth is most likely present due to genetics, and you cannot prevent that in the slightest, but with diligence dental decay is preventable.
 
Come on, mosh, y so srs? This was supposed to just be a thread about a funny video and look what you turned it into.

Cus he's trippin balls all the time and runs into things teeth first.

i'm gonna go with parental neglect

Now why would you assume that???

It could be corrective for an injury or genetics.

The odds are with me that's why. 😀

An extra tooth is the parents fault? Can you explain?

long story short, a hygienist thought this was abuse and got pwn'd.

nah. i've already said a couple of times that i made a mistake, (and that's why I told Oceandevi to read the whole thread). I didn't read the youtube comments where someone mentioned the kid had a supernumerary tooth.

 
Saw it already.

Friggin hilarious. That kid is sooo high... hahah. Good times.
