Son's front teeth pulled?

On Tuesday I have an appointment to get my one year old son%26#039;s two front teeth pulled because of Baby Bottle Mouth.He wasn%26#039;t with me when he got this.The dentist said I had two options which was to get a root canal done on his teeth then put crowns on them or get them pulled.She said it would be easier just to get them pulled but I feel like I should get the crown on them even though they are baby teeth.Im scared he%26#039;s going to get made fun of when he starts school and for every picture until he gets his adult teeth he%26#039;s going to look goofy.So I don%26#039;t know what I should do and which is best for him.

Son%26#039;s front teeth pulled?
It is actually not good to get them pulled, you should get them fixed and have caps put on them. I know a girl who did this to her kids and then she took them to a dentist that specializes with kids only, and he told her she should have never done this.





I was trying to call her and get the reason why, but cant seem to get in contact with her.
Reply:Do not get his teeth pulled! He will need them to eat and such. Oh my god, I cannot believe the dentist would even suggest that.





Talk to a pediatrician and ask him what you should do.
Reply:Go ahead and let them pull his teeth. He doesn%26#039;t need the front ones to guide in the new teeth and it%26#039;s less invasive on him. He will be fine and won%26#039;t be made fun of. My son had to do this for same reasons. My fault, I was a new mommy and didn%26#039;t know and would put him to sleep with a bottle. He%26#039;s 11 now and not once was he made fun of for missing his 2 front teeth. He looked way better than he did with the teeth and his adult teeth have since come in a long time ago. Good luck with his teeth.
Reply:you should get him silver teeth caps until he starts 1st grade then they could either fall out or get pulled out so his adult teeth could start coming in. that happens to alot of kids. it would be normal because most kids teeth fall out around first grade anyways.
Reply:Your fears are very real. He%26#039;s just one? I would get at least another dentist%26#039;s opinion on this. For some reason , this just doesn%26#039;t sound right.
Reply:Baby bottle tooth decay not only can cause painful toothaches, it can create feeding and nutritional problems and may lead to middle ear infections. In very severe cases, decayed teeth can become so infected that they may need to be removed. If a child loses a tooth too early, it can result in poor eating habits, speech problems and loss of self esteem. Baby teeth also play an essential role as space holders for permanent or adult teeth. Premature loss of baby teeth may create changes in the growth of the jaw. If adult teeth cannot assume their proper position in the jaw, extensive orthodontic repair may be required later on.
Reply:My daughter lost 4 teeth by the time she started kindergarten. She got her teeth very early and lost them early. She was never made fun of. Kids can be cruel but I think they start becoming that way later on. If your son needs his teeth pulled, by all means do it. I think either option you have been given will be traumatic regardless. I%26#039;m not sure what I would do in this situation. Best of luck to you, and his adult teeth WILL come in eventually.
