I am not sure why a three year old needs to have a root canal and a cap.  The dentist he goes to is telling me that he has a really bad cavity is bottom left side molar.  Okay well just fill it. I do not get why he wants to do a root canal and feel he is just doing more expensive dental work. Has anyone had their child get a root canal done on a baby tooth?  Does this sound right to anyone else?

I am being told by my son dentist that he should have two root canal done on back molars that are still baby teeth.  On top of that a couse they will need to be crowned.  Now he said I can get the cheap silver crown since they are baby teeth.

I like OMG  why am I going to spend out over 700.00 doing all this.  And that is my cost with my current dental insruance plan.   They are only baby teeth and I feel I am being taken by this dentist.
