Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX ,
Welcome to Ask a doctor service
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .
I have read your query and gone through your details. Dark spots on front teeth can be due to caries (bacteria) and yes it can be due to feeding at night time as your dentist said .
Can you upload pictures of your child teeth that will be helpful for me to give you proper diagnosis and treatment plan .
Inmeantime i will suggest you to few measures:
-Dont add sugar or sweetner in your child's milk bottle only add protein supplement .
- If possible avoid feeding during night time and if you are feeding your child during night then use cloth to clean your child teeth .
- Brush your child teeth using paste like Kidodent .
