This is not me, but someone I know Is going to do this and I think it is ridiculous!! The teeth are going to start falling out in a year anyways, what's the point? And they do not hurt the little girl, so that's not the issue. How many people would do this and why??
Thanks

I wouldnt do it sorry. Waste of 3000 dollars. I would invest that into a fund or something if you would just throw it away. UNLESS they cause her pain. If they caused pain then I would do something about it. They will fall out BUT dont let them rot. The teeth they have now determine the teeth that come in. HOpe that helps but dont spend that foolishly.

Well, I hope your dentist didn't yell too much... people do get cavities! Anyway, if the cavities were caught early and they're not too deep you wont' have too much trouble. For the me the worst part has always been the novicane - just because it lasts 1/2 a day after your filling is in and you feel like you have a fat lip. The drilling noise is weird, and having the actual filling done is the easy part.

Seven cavities is a butt load of cavities for a 4 year old. I would get them filled myself, but NEVER would I pay $3,000. Some people have nothing better to spend their money on, and they think the more something costs the better it is. do they live in Beverly Hills or anywhere in the 902.. zip code?

Decayed teeth can't be left in place, as they would rot the permanent teeth underneath. Pulling them this early would lead to teeth moving and getting out of alignment. It's a tough call, but that seems steep even working on a small child which is always more expensive because you have to put them to sleep.

If it were me, I wouldn't start paying for proper dental proceedures until the child has got their adult teeth. I would suggest that the parents start to look after the girl's dental health a bit more as, it sounds like her teeth & gums are not being looked after properly.

that dentist is probably ripping you off!. the reason when my older son was 8 years . the dentist told me he had a couple of cavities and it was going to cost me $550. i didn't have any insurance and money. at the time my sister was working at (United Way) clinic. she made me appt to see the dentist there. they took x-rays and he did not have any cavities. they took his picture and put it on the (No- Cavity) board, my son was going to that dentist since he was 11 mo. old. and he was trying to rip me off. GET A SECOND OPINION

what's reidiculous is that a 4 year old's teeth will cost $3000...and that's probably WITH health care. Jesus christ. It's probably better to remove teeth w/cavity before the child's mouth starts to pain...but $3000...god damn.

Why does a four year old have seven cavities? Sounds kind of neglectful on the parents part.
