My orthodontist has recommended that my 10 year old have five baby teeth pulled. She says there are permanent teeth ready to erupt and feels the permanent teeth would come in with less problems if the baby ones were pulled all at once. They are not loose yet so this worries me that this is being too invasive. Should they be pulled??? She and my general dentist who would be pulling them seem to think it is not a big deal. Also how painful is pulling all five at once instead of a few at a time?? Denise
