What can be given other than general anesthesia to a 5 yr old for cavities.

[Guest guest]

I took my 5 yr old daughter to the dentist for her regular 6 mth checkup. I've

been taking her regularly since she turned 3. I watch her sugar don't allow her

to eat candy/chocolate eat anything with additives/preservatives or high

fructose corn syrup I also don't allow her to drink soda and the ONLY juice she

drinks is 100% juice and that's only 1 box daily in her lunchbox. She eats lots

of fruits and veggies. So hearing today that she has 4 cavities was shocking to

say the least! How can this be possible? I brush her teeth 2x day and even floss

I take care of her teeth probably better than the anyone I know. Anyhow, the

dentist is a VERY difficult place for her so I was advised that she's have to go

Miami Childrens Hospital and have her put to sleep to put fillings in the 4

molars. I have a few questions and hope someone can answer them.

1) What other than general anesthesia can be given? I REFUSE to put her under

2) can supplements cause cavities?

3) do you know a good dentist that accepts CMS title 19?
