Hi. I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I need to ask...
My DD (3.5) is having surgery to deal with "kissing tonsils" in May. A few months ago, I took her to the dentist and it turns out she's got 3 cavities starting. We figured, as long as she's going under anesthesia for the tonsils and adenoids, why not have the dental issues addressed as well. We coordinated the whole thing and two days ago got a packet of papers from the dentist explaining what he wants to do.
Aside from doing the 3 fillings and taking a full xray series, he wants to put sealants on her 8 molars. Insurance isn't covering the sealants, so we want to make sure it's absolutely necessary before we write the check.
Any advice, insight, similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
