I am a bit worried as it appears that my 4 year old DS may need to have a tooth out soon (one of the front bottom teeth if you get me). Basically the tooth turned a pinky colour and the dentist said that the tooth had died from the inside but they don't know why. Four days later my DS's tooth broke off when he was eating. For the time being a cap kind of thing has been put over it but we've been told that won't last long and he will need it out. Awaiting dental hospital appointment for further advice/treatment.
I am a bit concerned as to how they will go about taking the tooth out if that is what will be needed. My son is very very good at the dentist so far and I am really concerned that them coming at him with an injection of anaesthetic (and the possible pain of it) will make him terrified of the dentist in future.
