My six year old needs  tooth extraction.  It is on the bottom right in the middle.   The tooth just went bad and he has no other tooth decay but the dentist said it is too far gone to save.

My son is 14 but needs to have braces, before they will put braces on he has to have two of the bottom Wisdom Teeth pulled.  Will getting insurance help with the wisdom teeth extractions?   I am good for braces since I my brother inlaw will be the one putting them on.  ( nice to have an orthodontic dentist in the family)  However he does not pull teeth.  Need advise for a good plan that will help me.

My daughter will be having two baby teeth pulled by the dentist.  She is 12 and the two baby teeth are in the back.   The dentist said they should be pulled since the adult teeth are there and are not pushing the baby teeth out.
