answers 0:Hi ok so I'm freaking myself out my daughter who is 2 1/2 is going to the dentist Monday and I'm just wondering what they are going to do. I was looking at her teeth last night and I noticed in between one of her teeth there is a small brown spot (I can only see it with the flashlight on my phone and if I'm right in her face and I need my glasses) and on another tooth I see some white spots and if I look REAL close I can see like 3 tiny brown dots on her gums above her two front teeth. (Again I have to have a bright light and be right in her mouth to see this) Is she going to have to get those silver caps? Or can she get fillings or white caps? I take very good care of her teeth I brush them daily! I don't really floss because her gums bleed easily. I know she drinks a lot of juice a! nd I do give her a cup of juice before bed (half water half juice with her medicine she needs) but I'm going to stop that or brush her teeth right after. I'm definitely going to start brush her teeth 3x a day with flossing!Please just let me know what you think they will have to do or let me know of there is any way I can reverse this. I've always been careful with her teeth because I'm that way with my teeth I just never put thought into her actually needing silver teeth and now im freaking out! Any advice would be great! Thanks !...Show moreanswers 1:The selection to furnish a little one caps depends upon who your dentist is, and whether or not or now not the little one has Medicaid. Severely, they make more cash per cap they function in a little one's mouth, plus they've a quota to fulfill. Don't forget the quota 🙂 If the dentist says your daughter wants caps take her somewhere else for a 2nd opinion. Then identify and ask circular searching for a dentist that locatio! ns caps as a final motel. There are other picks. Sooner or lat! er, when you come to a determination that caps are valuable make designated the dentist will permit you keep within the room whilst they do it, and don't allow them to strap her down. Don't permit them to take her from you! I am so fascinated about this....answers 2:Jeezus!! They are not going fill her teeth, since they are PRIMARY teeth. Those "dots" could be from her medicine. Also, WTH are you flossing a 2 1/2 year old's teeth!?!?!?? She HARDLY HAS ANY TO FLOSS!!!Chillax. The dentist will make their assessment. Why aren't you giving her MILK!?!?!??answers 3:The decision to give a kid caps depends on who your dentist is, and whether or not the child has Medicaid. Seriously, they make more money per cap they place in a child's mouth, plus they have a quota to meet. Don't forget the quota :)If the dentist says your daughter needs caps take her somewhere else for a second opinion. Then call and ask around in search of a dentist that places caps as a last resort. There ar! e other options.Finally, if you decide that caps are necessary make sure the dentist will allow you stay in the room while they do it, and don't let them strap her down. Don't let them take her from you! I'm so serious about this....answers 4:Modern dentristy has evolved a lot. Dentists (at least where I live) no longer use silver caps, but white ones. They sound like regular cavities which they will just fill.answers 5:Spots on teeth are not necessarily decay. I freaked out twice for no reason... The first time, I noticed dark, almost black spots on my child's molars (the biting surface). I took her to the dentist and found out that those black spots were not decay but discolorations, most likely caused by iron. I used to give my child chew-able multivitamin tablets containing iron.The second time, my child had brown spots on her teeth (the front sides around her braces, not the chewing surface). Again, it wasn't decay. It was tartar build up...My other child actually had ! a couple of cavities. She received one silver filling where she had a c! avity on the chewing surface. The other cavity was on the side of the tooth and she received a white filling. You can't even tell where it is.In order to need caps, the child has a tooth that cannot be filled usually because the tooth decay has destroyed most of the tooth....
