My son has been allergic to milk. He is now 7 years old and has extremely weak teeth. What can I do to replenish his calcium requirements in the body?

Milk is actually a poor source of nutritional calcium, you should discuss this with his pediatrician and get their advice. This will likely not affect his teeth to any real extent.
Fluoride works great to strengthen teeth. I would check to see if you have fluoride in your water and if not get supplemental fluoride from your dentist.
I would recommend some type of calcium supplement.
