Another plea for help! Dental woes in my 4 year old (Lynne Moore)

[Guest guest]

Lynne,

 

What I share may surprise you a bit. It matters little what you do or don't

do about these baby teeth. What matters is what this portends for the future

of her ADULT teeth, the ones that must last a lifetime in her mouth.

 

I have seen RFs " get cavities " , only to watch as their bodies repaired these

from the inside, out. (This is akin to losing hair for awhile, then

experiencing a resurgence into the most wonderful hair of a lifetime.)

 

And I have seen cases, too, where the damage from the past was sufficiently

severe that the body's choice was to eliminate its own teeth, rather than

attempt to repair them. This occurs in high correlation with dental

recommendations for root canal procedures. They would kill the teeth by

removing the underlying nerves, because they believe that, from the body's

point of view, the teeth are very nearly dead anyway. (But this is not

ALWAYS the case, so please don't run off and tell anyone that " Elchanan said

.... " )

 

We would need to know more about your history, your husband's history, and

your daughter's history and present diet and lifestyle before we could

intelligently give more advice. Also, there can be ... and likely ARE ...

significant emotional and postural issues associated with all this, issues

that affect muscle tone throughout her face and head, how she holds and

moves her jaw, and so forth.

 

And all this is not a conversation constructively handled via email. I

suggest taking it into a private conversation with someone whose knowledge

you trust.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Okay, I'm reaching out again for support!! My four year old daughter,

Emily, had 4 cavities in August. In September, the pediatric dentist was

able to fill 2 of the 4 cavities. However, they said that the only way they

could work on her teeth WITH her cooperation was to sedate her with Nitrous

Oxide. So they did, and she did fine. But now I don't like the fact that

they're going to have to give her the Nitrous Oxide again, and that CAN'T be

GOOD for HER!! But what are the alternatives? They said that problems could

get worse if I don't get the cavities filled in her baby teeth. Right now

Emily has no pain at all from the cavities!! I was just wondering if anybody

would have some advice about this. Is there a way that I can get her dental

work done without using an unnatural gas, and is it really necessary to fill

cavities in teeth that are going to fall out soon anyway? Thanks for

listening!! Lynne
