i have a 2yo daughter, she had a chip on her front teeth about a year ago, from then on she doesnt want her teeth to be brushed or touched, so we just let her brush her teeth on her own which made her teeth become worse, theres cavities now and her gums on the front teeth got bubbles, we brought her to the sick kids hosp and they said they have to extract the 2 front teeth, they have to put her to sleep but her schedule would be a year from now since that hospital is really busy, we brought her to another dentist and they said they really have to extract the 2 front teeth as soon as possible coz they're infected and might affect the coming teeth, but they don't have gadgets to put her to sleep, they would do it while she's awake, i'm afraid that would be too traumatic for her, she's just a baby to go through this, im really worried what should we do? is there a hospital with PEDODONTIST where we could take her so she's asleep? really depressed about this matter thanks...

ok
you need to call an oral surgeon..they do extractions and put her to sleep
you dont HAVE to go to a pedodontist.......when calling the oral surgeon...mention her age

Oral Surgeon. Insist they sedate her. They pulled a tooth on my son and didn't even numb it. He was afraid of people for a year after. Would never go to Sunday School and people outside of his immediate family couldn't hold him or speak to him.
