I had to bring my son to the dentist this morning and it turns out that he has 3 cavities - 2 on baby teeth and 1 on a permanent tooth. I didn't want the dentist to fill them there and then because I felt that it would be too traumatic for my son, so now my only option is to bring him to a specialist and he will be put under general anaesthetic. I feel so upset and angry that this has happened. I know that it's my fault, even though I try to limit his sugar intake and make sure he brushes his teeth. The treatment will probably cost a few thousand euro (we're in Ireland). I'm just wondering if anyone else has been through this and what treatment you went with for your child? Thanks.
