Re: Re: Cavity!!!!! Oh no!!

[Guest guest]

Maybe you can ask them to follow mito disease precautions for sedation? Call ahead of time so they can research it?

 

not sure what Huggins is...will look into it. Unfortunately, no amount of social stories and practice will help. I guess you never know until you try, but my guy gets pretty anxious in new places. He did fine with the loud polisher, which floored me, but I have no idea what he'll do when the drill comes out. Can't trust him to safely hold still while they drill...no way. He needs to be knocked out.

My family dentist said they could do it quickly and hope for the best, but he recommends just sedating him and taking their time to do it right. I agree with that, I just wish he didn't have to get the drugs. Oh, and we have few resources where I live in WV....we are lucky to be near town where there are 2 pediatric specialists to choose from.

Thanks!!!

Maybe it's one of those body pH type things? Like the more acidic the body is, the more easily cavities form???

 

OK! I'll look into that too. Not sure what to ask for but I have some time to research. Bought a spin brush today for better brushing....though that was not our problem, he lets me brush really well. this stinks.

i actually stopped my son's tooth decay using this book. I highly recommend it. Your teeth can heal. I never knew this. My son had 5 cavities and pain. I was FREAKED out. We had no sugar at the time so I didn't understand what I know now about digestive dysbiosis.

Stop the press!! I keep reading how toxic flouride is. We even stopped using a flouride toothpaste, and 6 months later he gets his first cavity. (insert another obscenity here).

I do not think he would be able to cooperate with a drill and filling unless sedated.
