Don't always take a dentist's word unless you have complete trust in him. There are a lot of slimy dentists out there. The amount of cheating that went on in dental school was unlike anything I had ever seen. They literally called a class meeting once to devise a cheating system for a test. Guys took teachers fishing in exchange for tests. Girls allegedly traded sex for grades, etc. I walked out in the middle of the class meeting when I realized what it was about and caught a lot of crap for it. Too many dentists out there worship the dollar.
Damn, care to share where you went to school?

This. You can make a great living without screwing people. Charge a fair fee, give people options and answer their questions honestly, take care of THEIR needs/desires.
My wife and I aren't aggressive treatment planners. Especially with children. Watch & wait is a very common pediatric treatment plan in our practice. Of course there are circumstances where things absolutely have to be done.
There is a good use for SS crowns in Pedo patients. They are widely over used though. I haven't done one since dental school. And can't think of but maybe 5 patients that I've sent to have one in 12 years of practice.
An interesting note. composite resin fillings don't bond to primary teeth nearly as strong as permanent teeth. Although its still a pretty good treatment modality for a quick 2 year solution.
