Ditto.
My babies never had a bottle. They went straight from the breast to sippy cup at six months. No juice, either. My pediatrician said to never give them juice in a bottle and I never did. She was really down on juice, said it was just sugar water, even real fruit juice. I always thought it was healthy, but she convinced me it was evil in a cup. If I didn’t make it, they didn’t drink it. Needless to say they never had tooth problems as babies or children, and they don’t have any cavities now.
No uninsured kid is going to get his baby teeth worked on by a dentist under sedation with an anesthesiologist. Not gonna happen.
I agree. Even laughing gas would have been a good sedative, followed by novacaine or lidocaine... but #morphine# i hope it wasn’t done by a resident atleast
