how to find a bf friendly ped. dentist??

[sweetieberlin]

long story short,

we just spent the last 3 weeks looking for a dentist for ds, 2 years, who has a few cavities, and going to 2 appt..

at the appt today, the dentist told us that if we would not nightwean, and 1. get ds' teeth flouridated by the dentist, and 2. use flouride toothpaste with ds, that they will not fix his teeth..

I am not going back there.. now we have to find a new dentist, preferably bf friendly.. we dont want to end up going to 10 different ones,,

anyone have any ideas?? his teeth should be fixed sometime soon..

thanks

Do you have La Leche League in Berlin? Even a German speaking group might have some ideas.
If not, have you called a midwives association? They also might have some ideas. Or a shop dedicated to cloth nappies, baby carrying...they also might have a recommendation. Does it have to be a pediatric dentist?

[sweetieberlin]

thanks!! thats a great idea!! I didnt think of i, but it could be a great help!!!

OT Sweetie Berlin: Could I ask what your signature means 'birthmom'? Did you give a child up for adoption?

[sweetieberlin]

yes, I did.. an open adoption that was all but closed by the adoptive parents

any reason you ask?

[Hollycrand]

No special reason. Was just in a nosy/curious mood the other day. I am so sorry that your open adoption ended up being a closed one.

I wish you luck in finding your pediatric dentist (or one that you really like)!
