Dentist
PostedOkay, time to complain about the dentist. As you probably read in an earlier post I took the kids to the dentist. Dylan has had sealants on his teeth since he was 4 or 5. He had gone to the dentist at least once a year since then, usually twice. Yesterday he went in to get a baby tooth pulled and 3 suspicious molars looked at, all of which had sealants on them. They deaden the area around the tooth to be pulled then he starts drilling on the molars to get the sealants off and to check out the dark spots underneath them. Each tooth had a tiny cavity (so tiny he didn't have to deaden the tooth to fix it) cavity. Well so if it is so tiny it shouldn't cost much to fix. Each cavity was $131. Insurance paid $84 of that, I pay the rest. Okay here is my complaint besides the cost. If cavities can form under sealants, then why put on sealants. The Dentist said it depends on the skill of the dentist putting them on, the cooperation of the child (my kids are a dream come true on the dentist chair) and if the child eats ice or hard candy often (Dylan happens to be my only child that doesn't eat ice or hard candy). In my eyes there is no hope for us when it comes to teeth.
