I recently took my four year old son to the dentist for his cleaning and check up. They performed X rays and told me that he had cavities in between his two upper back teeth on both sides and in the same area on his bottom teeth. The dentist said that because they were in between the teeth that he would have to perform a pulpotomy on my son. They will be putting silver caps on eight of his upper and bottom back teeth. I am very nervous about him having this procedure and I would like to know if this is truly necessary. He has not had any pain and we take a lot of time caring for his teeth. The doctor told me that his teeth looked beautiful on the outside but this was a real problem and we really need to get it taken care of right away. I am unsure as to why he would need this done when He will be losing his teeth in only a few years. Does this sound right?? Again, I personally brush my sons teeth every morning before and after breakfast and at night before bedtime. I also floss his teeth almost every day. His insurance will cover this procedure and he will be given Valium to help calm him beforehand. I really don't want to have him go through this if he doesn't have to. Help!!!!
