[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are unsure of what to do with the treatment options your current dentist has given you, why not seek another opinion from a respected pediatric dentist, especially if your DC has some fear issues? It is interesting to hear the opinions of the dentists here, but they can't examine your child, so this seems rather pointless if not unprofessional to me.   [/quote]

Hi, thanks for this.  I trust my dentist.  I was looking/hoping to hear from someone that they waited on a cavity and the tooth ended up  falling out as scheduled or that the cavity remineralized itself.  Some sort of "success" story if you will.  I know that small cavities can in fact heal themselves and I've heard anecdotally from many adults (including myself) about an identified cavity that has yet to materialize into one that needs filling.  I've just never heard that from anyone's experience with baby teeth.  It always seems as though people opt to get them filled even though the tooth will fall out eventually.  It sounds like most people opt for the easier path which is to fill a small cavity vs wait it out to see if it turns into something bigger but I just wanted to see if there was anyone who waited in and the next yearly xray actually showed nothing![/quote]
