[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dentists needing to buy a boat. Get a second opinion. [/quote]

+1 My dad is a retired dentist and we sadly know of dentists who take a very aggressive stance on putting holes in teeth. Some are dishonest and some are just quicker to drill than others. We had to try a few before we found one who I think is legitimate. Avoid anyone who advertises heavily or has a fancy website (where do you think that $$ came from?). A good dentist should have no trouble filling their chair through referrals. [/quote]

Can you ask your dad what to do about a 9 year old with an inflamed gum on one tooth?  Do you treat it or just wait for teeth to grow in around it?  The gum is inflamed because my DD chews on the other side of her mouths and the saliva isn’t cleaning it.  I don’t know what to do about it.  She says it doesn’t hurt her.

not PP but are you sure there is nothing under the gum?  My sister is a hygienist and the number one thing she pulls out from under someone's gums are popcorn hulls.  Flossing sometimes works to get it out, otherwise during a cleaning they can feel around for it.[/quote]
