Baby tooth, tooth decay, need some dental advise
My daughter has a baby tooth that is soon to come out. The dentist says in about a year. However, this tooth has some tooth decay and he is advising to have it filled. I do not really have the extra money for the filling since I do not have any dental insurance to help me with the cost.
I asked him if she could just leave it alone since it is due to come out in a year. Maybe just keep an eye on it so that if it does start to bother her before it comes out I could address it then. The dentist said I could do that but made me feel really bad about not taking care of it now.
I do feel bad but at the same time I also see it as a waste of money to put into a tooth that is coming out in less then at year. Am I so wrong about this?
