I’m worried my daughter has the same jaw problem as me, can I stop this?

Q.

Hi,

I have a 7 month old baby girl and am worried that when she grows up her bottm jaw will stick out more than her top jaw.

I have this problem and am concerned that she will have the same.

I have noticed lately that when she makes noises her bottm gums show and you cant see her top gums, she talks like she is sticking her bottm gum out.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

My 5 year old son is loosing his enamel. Is there anything we can do?

Q.

Hi there. My 5 year old son is missing enamel off his 2 front baby teeth. His peers are starting to comment and I do not want him to be teased. Our nhs dentist says nothing can be done and they won’t remove which I understand but is there anything that can be done privately? Can they be painted with anything or treated in any other way to improve the colour. I do not want his confidence shaken at such a young age. I have looked at the pearl drops paint on veneer product but it shouldn’t be used under 7 and I couldn’t see a difference on my teeth so don’t think it will make a difference on his. I thank you in advance for any advice.
