Is dental work necessary for my daughter?

Q. I have a question about my 8 year old.She chipped a baby tooth (it is marked S on her chart). The dentist told us the tooth needed to be removed and that a lingual arch needed to be put in. Also, he told us to that that the tooth marked T on the chart had a cavity. He said that this tooth need to be filled and crowned. She has already lost several of her baby teeth. I don’t want to put her through uneeded dental work. Also, I don’t want to have lots of work done on teeth that are going to come out shortly. Can you give me any advice on this? Is the crown really needed? Is the lingual arch really needed? Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.,
A. Im afriad it is very difficult for me to give any feed back on this without seeing you daughters mouth. I would recommend getting a second opinion from another dentist if you do not feel this is the best treatment plan for her.Kind regardsDr Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com
