Dd was 9, saw lovely dentist who said come back at 10 so she can look into more ways to help dd teeth. DD is good brusher but has some decay on her baby back teeth. Dentist told us to swill in between brushing as well. She said they can do more after 10.
We booked her in and went back a few months later at age 10. Lady dentist left surgery and now its a new man.
He said there is no evidence to suggest teeth fishering stops decay and also said there is no point swilling with childs mouth wash in between brushing. He said brushing and diet are the only ways forward.
I felt totally stunned and shocked. I myself had my teeth fisher-ed by my parents when young and I am 42 with one filling! i am a good brusher but also blessed with good teeth ( touch wood) however I have a very sweet tooth!
I said I was happy to pay privalty if it was something that could help.
My DD also has an over bite, I have been concerned about it but told it can work itself out,. However this dentist said it was actually quite pronounced and she needs referral to orthopedics now. A quick google shows actually it should be treated quite soon, so maybe she should have been referred earlier?
I dont know what the best thing to do for her now is after two totally conflicting dentists.
