Britney accused of 'dental abuse'

Britney Spears is being investigated for "dental abuse" of her two sons. The allegation is just the latest that she has "appalling" parenting skills. Now it can be revealed that the charges are based on a claim that she is not taking steps to ensure her children receive the best possible dental care.

The complaint, lodged with Department of Children and Family Services, alleges poor dental hygiene, as well as poor eating and sleeping habits for Sean Preston, two next month, and 11-month old Jayden James.

Britney, 26, is currently battling ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody. The allegations are contained in legal papers filed yesterday by Federline's attorney, suggesting it might have been K-Fed who lodged the complaint. It was reported in the US that Brit gives her sons bottles of fizzy drinks and lets them snack on sugary food.

In February last year, the DCFS interrogated Britney after the notorious car seat incident with Sean Preston. And in April 2006 they spoke to her after he fell out of a high chair, but no action was taken. It was also reported K-Fed's people tried to serve papers to a Britney insider yesterday when the man freaked out, drove into the lawyer's car and sped off.

Police were called to investigate the hit-and-run. And Spears's ex-manager, Larry Rudolph, is in hiding because he doesn't want to testify against Britney. He is afraid it could hurt her custody chances.
