Dental care, 4 year old and 6 crowns.
My husband took our four year old son to his first dental appointment the other day. What should have been just a normal dental appointment for a check up and basic cleaning turned into a nightmare.
My husband was told that our son has dental carries. which means he has two small cavities and four large size cavities all on his back teeth. Instead of just doing the filling the dentist is stating he should have all six teeth crowned. We have dental insurance but even with insurance this would be a large bill.
My husband did not do anything at the time but made another appointment in two weeks for all this work. I am against him having all these crowns and think the dentist is full of it. My son never had problems with is teeth and I have him brush his teeth twice a day like he should. I watch him so I know he is brushing them like he should.
I work during the day and my husband at night. So I can not take my son into the dentist without taking a day off from work and my husband upset saying we are not taking care of our son teeth. He does not want to get a second opinion since he said he knows this dentist and knows he would not make things up. Am I the only one that thinks this is too much?
