Baby bad breath and yellow teeth?

My 12 month old has horrible breath! we do and have always brushed her teeth but it doesnt help. it also looks like there is no enamel on her front 2 teeth.they are kinda yellow. they feel bumpy and rough. her bottom teeth are white but 2 back molars are yellow and it wont brush or scrape off. recently she has a fever and breath got worse so i think she may had strep throat because my other kids had to have their tonsils out by age 3. but she isnt always sick so whats up with the breath?? its bad! will her teeth be better once adult ones come in?

Baby bad breath and yellow teeth?
Pediatrician first due to the fever and then the dentist, unless the doctor can give you an answer.





The odor may be from something eaten or gastrointestinal problems. The doctor can diagnosis this with out the added trip to a pedodontist for the teeth.





As mentioned by other responders, do stop the juice/milk bottle at night; only water is recommended to preserve the enamel on the teeth and prevent decay. You should also make sure to brush or wipe the teeth before bedtime this is to remove any plaque that can cause damage to the enamel if left through out the night.





Hope I%26#039;ve been of some help and good luck!
Reply:Take her to the dentist. They%26#039;ll tell you what%26#039;s going on and what can be done.
Reply:I suggest a trip to the dentist or pediatrician. Your baby teeth are important because they set up the health of your permanant teeth. People think oh they are gonna lose them anyways, but having rotten or gross baby teeth is setting you up for rotten and problems with your adult teeth and you don%26#039;t want this. It almost sounds like bottle rot.
Reply:She probably needs to go to the doctor and the dentist. The doctor will let you know if its strep-throat and what to do about that and if its affecting her breath. The dentist could probably tell you whats going on with her teeth and what you could do to fix it. It kinda sounds like baby bottle mouth, does she go to bed with a bottle of milk/juice? If so, you need to STOP that! If she takes a bottle to bed, ONLY put WATER in it!! Very important or its gonna ruin her permanent teeth also.





Good luck!
Reply:The symptoms describe a infection:





Whenever you have a horrible stench accompanied later by a fever, you%26#039;re dealing with some sort of bacterial infection...





Sinus infection: There are many reasons your child may have a sinus infection, a possible reason is that your baby could have something up her nose, and there could be a huge infection festering up in there.





Stomach: Bacterial infection in the stomach. Babies get dirty and touch their openings, this is also a very good possibility.





See the doctor immediately!
Reply:A babys breath should not stink. Are you giving her water or juice in a bottle at bedtime? That is the best way to rot her teeth right there. It sits on the teeth all night and eventually takes its toll. You should take her to the doctor to see if there are any health problems involved, and then schedule an appointment with a dentist.
Reply:They have these people called pediatricians and dentists now. Please take your daughter to one or both.
