Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Q.

My 3 year old son has not been to the dentist yet, however his 2 front teeth are loosing the enamel. He no longer drinks a bottle or sucks a pacifier. I have put a call into a dentist near me but I am curious as to why this is happening and if its serious. He does not complain of any pain.

I don’t trust my sons dentist, should I get a second opinion?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Q.

My son is 19 mons. when his two frunt teeth come in inverted. I took him to the dentest she said that he needed to have filled and caps on, and that his two roots were growing into one. He was about 15 mon when we went in and put him under she told me that this was something that had to be done. She made him his own caps. He came out doing ok and well he didnt look to bad.we went back to see her about 6 month later and he said that everything was good! Well about a month or little longer his mouth was swolen he was not eating and it was causing him pain. We went back to that some doctor and she said that he has gotton some food up in his teeth/ gum and i caused it to get infected. So, today we went back to the hospitle and he filled his teeth down to the nerv and put the caps on that had that have the silver backing. When he came out he was in pain she waid that she could not get thim even. Im wondering if any of this even needed to be done if she was just wanted the money. Its so much and he is so little.If you could pleace help me and my son i dont want to have to go throu more with this Dr if i cant trust her. Ifeel like i put my child all through this and i dont even know if he needed it thank you so much for your time.

My 2 year old’s back teeth haven’t come through, is this a problem?

Friday, January 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello,

I have a 2 yr old daughter,all her teeth have nearly come through but not the back ones.

The teeth at the bottom are positioned in front of the top ones,but she doesnt look to have her chin sticking out.

Also the top teeth are on a slant and the top tooth line is uneven as a result.

It doesnt bother her when eating,but id like to know what to expect in the future in terms of what could happen with the 2nd teeth and will she need a brace and the uneven top teeth.

Many Thanks

My son has missing enamel, can I insure him for dental expenses?

Monday, January 24th, 2011
Q.

My son is aged 10.
He has suffered from missing enamel on most of his new teeth. The dentist looking after him suggests that this may have been due to antibiotics being taken by my wife prior to his birth. My question is knowing that he will require a lot of dental work post 16:
Is this classed as cosmetic work and can we issure for this to at least have a six year plan to cover all the projected expense?
He has always had a very healthy diet.
Kind Regards.
