My 4 year old had to have a couple teeth taken out and they said the reason is because the infection is due to a bad tooth even if it isnt visible. It is better to get it out now then wait and have it infect or decay other teeth. I am glad my daughter got hers out. She hasnt had problems since.

My daughter had two pulled and the dentist tried to install a space maintainer.My daughter wouldnt let the dentist put it on.She was terrified.He said permanents wouldnt come in right without it.He lied.Her permanents have come in just fine and normal without it.He just wanted to make extra money.

Hey, dean.If your daughter has not seen a pediatric dentist,please have her see one asap!General dentists are not trained in the care of children's teeth and the challenges that they can present.If a pediatric dentist says that nothing further can be done to save the teeh,a "baby denture" can be placed to save your child the embarassment of being toothless for several years.It is not ,i repeat not, normal to have a child's tooth extracted unless, as with adult teeth,nothing further can be done.I wish you and your child the best.Patty
