re: OT Dentists: Question on Kids' Fillings

Wow....The variety of responses in this thread are shocking....

1. Which tooth is it and take first into account when your son will loose it

2. Do not forget that u do have other options than restoration (or in this case prolonged retention). The significance of the maintaining the pediatric teeth at that age is to have adequate space for adult teeth to come in depending on where it is.

3. Lastly....which no one has mentioned. ..get the remaining teeth sealed and a home fluoride treatment as a preventative measure with the remaining teeth.... This will save you further headache in the future although good home care can't be remedied with anything but brushing and flossing. ..even for a six yr old.
