they want me to put her under what do I do?

[carla72]

First off let me say I am 8 days overdue so could go into labour at any time. We took my dd to the dentist 6 months ago (a new dentist we had just switched too) She had a very small amount of discolouration on two of her teeth. He told us just to keep brushing and it might reharden. She didn't eat sugar, juice any of the things that he told us to cut out. We went back yesterday dd is 27 months and he said she has cavities on her front two teeth and the two teeth beside them. My choice is to go to another city and have her put under to fix them. Or I can leave tehm and when she turns 3 he can pull tehm. These are her front four teeth. The closest pediatric dentist is an hour away. I read in another thread about putting flouride toothpaste on the decay. She won't spit out the toothpaste though. IS there anything I can do in the meantime? I also was told that the denstist I was reccommended to put her under and do the work only puts children under 30 pounds and over and she only weighs 26. I am feeling very uncomfortable with the entire thing and I don't know what to do. Not to mention I will have a newborn and recovering from labour so It will be a month before I can drive to another city to have it done. The pediatric dentist that will put them under has a 9 month wait. I had the same problem with my baby teeth but I atleast was a little older so I just had them fixed in the chair.
