I just found out that my six year old daughter has two cavities. I am not sure why this is, I brush her teeth after breakfast and dinner each day. Although they are just her baby teeth I do not want her to continue getting cavities.

My husband took our four year old son to his first dental appointment the other day. What should have been just a normal dental appointment for a check up and basic cleaning turned into a nightmare.
My husband was told that our son has dental carries. which means he has two small cavities and four large size cavities all on his back teeth. Instead of just doing the filling the dentist is stating he should have all six teeth crowned. We have dental insurance but even with insurance this would be a large bill.

I just found out that my daughter has a bad tooth. The dentist told me that my daughter has a large size cavity on her back molar. The dentist told me not only should he do the filling but because it is rather big he should crown the tooth.

My son who is ten is very scared about going to the dentist. Just having him go to get his cleaning make him upset. My problem is now he has three small cavities that need to have fillings done.
When I told him we will need to make an appointment to have the filling done he started to freak out about it. Saying he did not want to have the filling done. I really do not understand why he so scared of going to the dentist.

My husband took our daughter to the dentist where he was told she had six very large size cavities. The dentist stated that he can do filling but wants to put metal crown on the teeth. All the teeth that have the cavities are in the back and he said since she will need this teeth until ten or eleven when the adult teeth start to come in the crowns will protect the teeth better.

My six year old daughter has a cavity between her two front up teeth. Since the cavity is between the teeth both teeth have some decay so that a filling is required for both. This will be her first filling since she never had cavity before. The dentist said the cavities are small right now. So I wonder if I should wait and see if they get any bigger before making her have dental work on teeth that will fall out when she is a little older.

My son Gregory needs to have two filling done ASAP. He is seven years old but I just lost my dental insurance when I changed jobs. My current job offers dental insurance but not until I have been with them for six months. I have only been at this new job for less then two months.

My daughter who is now sixteen has a retained baby tooth. It the first molar behind her eye tooth. With in the last two weeks she said that tooth was starting to hurt her a little. I will be taking her back into the dentist to see if she has something wrong with it. I am wondering could she get a cavity in that tooth when we just had X-rays two months ago for her normal visit and everything was fine then.

My husband and I had a casual oral hygiene routine when it came to our 18 month old son. We would brush his teeth but only once a day. We though that would be enough since I did wipe his teeth after eating. However with in the last four weeks notice that he started to have bad breath that he did not have before.
