My son is ten he has a large size cavity in one of his back molars that the dentist he is currently seeing is advising to have a crown put on it. I do not see the point of this since it is a baby tooth.  I asked if he could not just have a filling done since I can not afford a crown.

My daughter is six years old and I was told by the dentist that she has three fillings that need to be done. I a surprised by this since she was just at the dentist six months ago and had no cavities.  I had to change dentist since then due to a change in dental insurance plans but I feel as if this dentist is full of it.  Can you get three cavities in just six months time.?  My daughter up to this point never had a cavity.  I am not sure if I should be changing dentist to get a second option or not.

My three year old is brushing his teeth on his own but still does not floss.  I think this is okay that he is too young to really know how to floss yet so I floss them at night before he goes to bed.  However a few people are telling me he should be able to floss on his own and that I am babying him too much.  So I would like to know just at what age a child should be able to floss on their own?

I have a 13 month old son and I been taking care of his teeth by brushing them twice a day and making sure he does not have his baby bottle except for when he is feeding.  He is really fussy when it comes to me brushing his teeth. I am not sure if I am doing it wrong but is there some easier way to make him less fussy?  I sometime put off brushing his teeth until the last minute just because I do not like making him upset.

I have a six month old that has not yet started teething. He does not have even one tooth yet.  I am a new mom this being my first child and all I am not sure when I should expect to see this teeth coming in.  Is his running late? I heard that baby start teething by now. How much longer should it take for his teeth to come in?

I am not sure why but I just notice not that long ago that my seven year old has yellow baby teeth.  I do not recall them being yellow before now.  I do make him brush his teeth twice a day and I floss them at night still since he his not flossing correctly yet.  However now I worried that he is not brushing well either.  Should I take him to see the dentist or just try changing toothpaste for right now.

My son is three years old and he does not like anyone new.  It takes him a while to not be worry of new people.  However he is due for his first dental appointment and I just found out that the dentist will not let me stay with my son why he is getting his check up.  I think this is going to be a big issue for my son and I want to be there with him.  Is this normal?  Or should I search for a different dentist?

My five year old son grinds his teeth and I am worried that this will start causing problems with her baby teeth but also if I can not get her to stop with her adult teeth latter on.  She does this only when she is awake.  I do not see her doing it asleep. I tell her to stop when I see her but is there anything I can do to get her to stop?

How do I shop out dental insurance for my three month old daughter?  I currently do not receive dental benefits though my job. I am not sure when I should get dental insurance for my daughter.  some people tell me I do not need to worry about dental insurance until my daughter is two to three years old when she will see a dentist.  Where other people tell me to get it now since dental insurance plans have long waiting periods.  What is the right thing to do?
