Baby dental care, Six crowns on a five year old

Wednesday, Jun. 30th 2010 3:33 PM

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.

I feel that the dentist is way out of line I brush my daughter teeth and do not feel she could have so many cavities.  Now my  husband is all mad at me saying I am not taking good enough care of my daughter teeth.  I told him I want a second opinion but he said he is not going to get one.

That he is paying for the dental insurance and it not the dentist but it me.  I am so upset right now. It is like my husband is trying to pick a fight with me over this even though I am doing all I can.  He said he will have the crowns done and for us to move forward and just take better care of her teeth.  I still want a second opinion.

I feel that the dentist is wrong. Even if she need filling I do not think the dentist needs to put caps on her teeth.  I think he just trying to get extra money and at the same time he is causing problems with my husband and I over this.   Should I fight to get the second opinion or just let it go since they are baby teeth and take the blame.
