I've often wondered if Lili's medicines were causing problems with her teeth. She recently had 2 cavities filled. Her sister has perfect white teeth. They eat, drink and brush their teeth the same way.</end quote></div>



i think teeth health is partly genetics. i've had one cavity my whole life, whereas my sister who is much younger has already had 6.</end quote></div>


I agree.

Funny you should post this, I just took my daughter for her first dentist appointment. He was a bit of a pain about her diet (3 cans of pediasure and the whole high cal, high fat stuff). He said that between all the inhalents and the sugar her teeth are really going to suffer. He even asked if I could find something with less sugar than pediasure to give her. That'd be great, except I'm struggling to put weight on this kid and she is still in fussy mode -- so if she'll drink the pediasure, pediasure it is!!!

The dentist made a big freaking fuss saying he didn't understand why the CF centers weren't more communicative about tooth health and how this would impact CFers later on. I answered in a way that stopped his talking by saying that I would imagine it is only very recently that CFers grew old enough to have teeth problems. He really irked me, but I think his points are valid. All the typical CF care stuff can't be great on those teeth.

I have had this problem in the past.the advice my dentist gave was when you brush your teeth brush upwards on the bottom teeth and brush downwards on the top teeth.if you brush up and down on top and bottom you are brushing your gums away from your teeth. (hope that makes sense). and always rinse after nebs or inhalers.
