The *upsettig me even further* is the danger, not the flurosis. The
emotional baggage the you are loading onto your child's back is the
danger, and I believe you can cause far more permanent damage with this
than any mottling of her teeth. If needs be, we can do whitening,
composite veneers, porcelain veneers, etc..... I almost hit the roof
when I read that you are already certain that her adult teeth will be
peg teeth...... Jezzzzuz Lady.....

Consider what will happen if she *does* have a case of mild flurosis.
Like I said above, there are things we can do.

Now, consider what will happen if she *does not* have a case of mild
flurosis. You will end up blaming her for the damage you are doing to
your own nervous system right now. This is where the danger lies. For
your little girl's sake, GET DOWN OFF YOUR OWN BACK!!!!!

Maybe you could adopt more of the Japanese team player approach: They
never place blame when things go wrong; they fix the problem so that
everybody comes out a winner. Here in NA, it's different: we have to
blame/sue/regret everything. Get off the blame bandwagon, especially if
you want your kids to stick close to you as they grow up and become
(dare I say it....) TEENAGERS..... :-(

As a last piece of advice, go back, cut out and paste all the postings
that Sabra (TW) has sent you, print them out and read them once a day.
This lady knows a thing or two about putting things in perspective.
Eventually, you will mature and your ability to deal with life's little
emergencies will improve. This advice comes from an ordinary dentist
(myself), and is based upon things I see in parents every once in a
while in my little corner of the world.
Smile at yourself and your children.
