9yr old daughter having tooth pulled

rammy007

Whenever i have any treatment at the dentist i always take some painkillers before i go so it helps any pain.Iam a bit of a cowerd when it comes to the dentist,and try not to do what my DD did pass out cos she hadnt eaten anything earlier.

Might be worth finding out what's been going wrong for a 9 yr old to need a tooth out as well, and to get to grips with sugar control before it's adult teeth that are being removed!

i think i kind of already know this and i believe it is baby toothpaste
i know people may disagree and ask why etc, well
when myself and my other 2 sisters were little we used adult toothpaste and never had a single filling or tooth pulled
mum has 2 other daughters who are 12 and 13 who used baby toothpaste and both have had no end off fillings and teeth taken out, my eldest(who this poste is about) used baby toothpaste and has a couple of fillings also (by the way this tooth is having to be pulled because there was bad between 2 teeth but they only filled the one further back "because the other would be falling out soon"), my sisters 2 kids used it and both have fillings, yet my youngest 2 and my other sisters 2 kids have never used baby toothpaste as myself and my mum believed it to be the baby toothpaste and none of them have ever had trouble.
now you may say this is stupid conclusion to come to or whatever but it makes sense and seems to prevented any of the other kids having problems, so i will stick to my guns.

sugar control well they only have sweets at weekend for treats and i dont add to anything, although i always had sugar on cereal etc when i was little i have never put it on my kids cereal. and they also brush there teeth twice a day every day
