What three year old needs four root canals? Dentist should be charged with murder.

20. For those who have small kids -

watch things like "fruit snacks". Those kinds of candy-like snacks are not at all healthy and our pediatric dentist told me she thinks those kind of snacks that parents mistake as somewhat healthy are a problem with baby teeth. My own daughter had several crowns, but our dentist takes her time and does not put them out if at all possible. My daughter had local sedatives and constantly monitored by the nurse as the work was being done. I was much stricter with the younger child - no fruit snacks and I would let him play at brushing his teeth but still often brush them after to make sure he doesn't have these issues. He has one small cavity at this point vs. his older sister having several crowns. So, watch what they eat and help them brush are my suggestions.

ETA - also water. With the younger child I switched him from juice to small water bottles much younger - mostly due to weight. As he gets older have switched to reusable bottles but those small water bottles were initially easy for him to grab from fridge (as opposed to a juice box). I think that helped as well.
