    Start a national campaign group warning parents of the dangers of hard toffee and crowns.


    Good idea, how do I go about this please?

    Thank you for all the replies, I just wanted a general idea of what other people would do as I wasn't sure.

    maybe you could find a way for me to blame coco-cola for my rotting teeth also.

    If you do, let me know...

    people can bite metal lids off bottles with thier teeth without breaking, im sure there was probably something already wrong with the tooth.

    Yes there was as the post states.

    I'm sorry that you have rotting teeth.

    If you drink too much coke you expect it to ruin your teeth in the end.

    If you bite a coookie would you expect it to break your tooth/filling?

    bit of a loaded question, if you drank one can of coke you wouldn't expect it to rot your teeth in one go, but you increase the risk of it happening. Eat a toffee cookie you wouldn't expect it to break a tooth but you increase the risk of it happen. Your son just happens to be the 1 in 10,000 it happens too.

    A Rolo caused part of a filling to fall out of one of my teeth the other week. Hadn't eaten them in years so I'm taking them to the cleaners as it's evidently the Rolo that caused it
  • PMSL.... don't blame the store, blame too many sweets! The blame culture in the UK increases where everyone wants to take someone to court if an unfortunate accident happens.... Pay for it yourself like everyone else would!Crikey I shouldnt be saying that as Im a lawyer... they will kick me out!!

    I guess they'll be nice and clean when you get your teeth back from the cleaners!
