My son is 13 months old, he is still breastfed, he does not drink juices, I also limit sweets, but I noticed white discoloration at the base of the teeth, as well as grooves along the tooth - two. Is it tooth decay? The little one brushes his teeth after meals. Or maybe it's a lack of vitamin D?

I can't make a diagnosis online without seeing the patient.White spots on milk teethmay be evidence of:

  • decalcification,
  • in the initial stage of caries,
  • enamel damage.
Please visit the dentist as soon as possible.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
