My three year old had a root canal done

Sunday, May. 9th 2010 1:25 PM

My three year old son had to have a root canal done on one of his teeth.  The dentist advised us to fix the tooth instead of pulling it since it was not due to come out for some.  It sounded right to my husband and I so we went ahead with the root canal.

It was terrible.  My son was in pain during the process I even had to hold him down which I did not like doing just so the dentist could finish the root canal.  I left really upset.  If I knew my son would have been in pain like it was I would have had him just pull the tooth.   Now we have to go back to have the tooth caped  in two weeks.

My son does not want to go back to the dentist. I do not want him to be scared about seeing a dentist but they really made it hard for me to prevent that behavior.  I do not think getting the cap put on will hurt but  would like to know what to expect.  I do not want to tell my son it will not hurt if the fact is that it will.
