Why would they bring a kid that young to the dentist in the first place if there were no signs of dental disease?



Its pretty typical to bring your children as toddlers to the dentist for the first time (I think). It's not like the toddler can fully tell you if anything hurts, nor can you really hold them down and inspect every tooth.

I would expect any parent to trust their dentist if he said the child needed work done on her teeth.

My niece is 13 months and doesn't have a whole lot of teeth.

we brought our son at like 18 months for the first time, but it was really just to get used to the experience of opening his mouth for the dentist to look in. definitely no X-rays. And if these people are bringing their kid to the dentist at 14 months then they had probably been brushing her teeth regularly. No way she could have had that many cavities that needed work.

If I had a newborn, I'd bring them in as soon as they can get the anticavity sealant on their teeth.

What they did should be considered manslaughter

Which is exactly what these chumps count on.

Braces are the biggest racket in the world.
