How the fuck does a 3 year old get any cavities, much less 10?
Oooh boy, let me introduce you to the joy that is pediatric dentistry. I perform anesthesia at some peds dental places. Not unheard of to put full crowns or multiple extractions on kids under 3. I'm talking like at least one a day is that bad.
Aren't their teeth just going to fall out? Why put them through the pain of a crown instead of just pulling it?
You also need your baby teeth to be present in order for your adult teeth to grow in properly. The entire jawbone changes as teeth grow and develop.
It does become an open wound in a real gross place for a while after pulling, I'd think any doctor of any sort would like to keep that to a minimum. You also don't want to leave them bare without a crown because they'll still have them for a while at least and cavities hurt.
Crowns on baby teeth? Wack, just pull those fuckers imo, they'll be back.
Standard American diet on crack
Corn syrup in literally everything
Fuck :(
I've been sat on a bus after work one time (maybe 10 years ago now) and I saw a mother open a 2L bottle of coke and fill up a bottle with a teet and pass it to a kid who was no older than 3.
What in the actual fuck? This is why education is important. Well, this is one example of why.
Diet and oral care are very important, even for babies and toddlers!
That is simply not true, about breast feeding and cavities. Studies show that there are other factors at play, mainly linked to socioeconomic status, sugary/starchy diet and whether their water has fluoride in it or not.

I love when people like this tell me how the gov poisons the water with fluoride in it... always fire back and say I like my teeth...
Are you being sarcastic? Their source really is objectively better, so it's hard for me to tell. There's nothing wrong with believing a doctor, but when you're presented with new info from a reliable source (in this case an entire group of doctors funded by the Australian government and internationally recognized) then maybe just like...say thank you and reevaluate your position?
How's that? Happy now?
Their paediatrician is wrong. Doctors aren’t infallible.
