My five year old daughter recently had her first dentist visit. She has to go back and have some fillings and a crown. The crown is because the tooth has two different decay spots and fillings are more likely to come out. I understand all this and I am fine with what they are going to do. However, her father thinks they can juist pull the tooth out since it is only a baby tooth and it would be cheaper. I tried to explain that probably the reason they don't is because it might mess up the alignment of her teeth or might cause problems with chewing since it is one of her molars. I'm not exactly sure if this answer was correct. My daughter lives with me and visits her father regularly and i try to keep him informed of everything that goes on with her. So why is it important for the tooth not to be removed?
