Baby teeth to be pulled

Monday, Nov. 23rd 2009 7:12 PM

Baby teeth should they really be pulled

I took my son who is going on eight to see his dentist for his six month cleaning and check up.  The dentist is telling me that he should have three of his baby teeth pulled to make room for the adult teeth to come in.   I am just not sure I am buying into having his baby teeth pulled when if given time they will come out on their own.

I also heard that  you should not take out baby teeth early but this was told to me by friends not a dentist.   I said I would think about it.  Money is an issue but if my son really need to have it done then I will figure something out.  I just do not want to do it so that I can line my dentist pockets.

Has anyone had to pull healthy baby teeth to make room for adult teeth to come in?  Advise would be great.
