Default tooth decay-1yr old

Fluoride causes teeth to grow in brown and pitted. Some anesthesia
also contain fluoride.
MD's and DDS's haven't caught up with the new literature showing that
ingested fluoride confers no benefits and only delivers risks. Here'
an article that speaks to fluoride supplements:

I have a question about tooth decay. My baby is one (sob) already, and
I noticed on his newly emerged top tooth that there is some brown with
a pit on it.

A little history:

Grant has been through several surgeries with anesthesia and he's been
on frequent antibiotics (prohylaxis and treating). He also had a time
where he was losing weight (diarrhea for close to a month and a half),
and he's now on vitamin drops with iron and flouride. He started
eating solids about a month ago, but breastmilk has been his main
source of food.

I can't remember, but do antibiotics contribute to tooth decay? What
happens with a little one who has tooth decay? I know it's been
mentioned on here before, and I need to do some searching. I feel
pretty bummed about it. We haven't seen anybody about it yet. Do you
see a ped first?

I think I'm forgetting something, but that'll be it for now. Thanks
for any help!
