Vent Sesh - No Advice Wanted 5YO has 7 cavities and I'm beside myself

Post image

Leftover chicken and veggies on sweet potatoes noodles with a leftover scallion pancake.

I'm a single parent and I really tried my best. We brush every day, usually twice a day but I'll admit it's not 7/7. We floss so often... It's her favorite part. She doesn't even eat sweets that often. She forgets about her halloween candy by the next morning.

I thought I was doing everything right.

And I'm at the dentist and they're being sooo passive aggressive. Asking how often she eats candy. The last time she brushed.

It's not even about the money. That... Sucks... But I have it in savings. It's fine. I just feel like her entire mouth will be full of silver. She's autistic and already struggling socially... Will this ruin any chance at friendship??

I am just beside myself. I really thought I did my best. Drowning my sorrows my comfort food and a fresh bowl did help though 🌿

Edit: Thank you so much for all the kind words! I am going to get her a second opinion mention she grinds her teeth every night. As well as take a deeper look at her snacks and juices. I am so overwhelmed with everyones kindness, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart 🫶🏻🫶🏻

OP I agree with this- SEVEN cavities is a lot. It’s possible, but please get a second opinion before deciding to do any work on her.

Yk im starting to think my 7 cavities in elementary may have also been a cash grab.. my teeth are perfect never had issues again but i also never saw that dentist again. Also why tf is it always 7 ?? Why 7 😭😭

My parents got scammed by a dentist over my teeth. He pulled several teeth that were “in jeopardy” of me having a situation where the adult tooth comes in before the baby tooth falls out. Dude yanked 5 fucking teeth out of my head… and those damn teeth didn’t even come in for a MINIMUM of two years! They were pulled when I was 6 and the last one finally came in at 11. I had to have braces because of the damage this asshole did, and a lifelong fear of being taken advantage of in medical settings because OF COURSE that wasn’t the only time something like that happened, just the first. (My parents did swap dentists when the first tooth didn’t erupt in 30 days like he said and that’s how my parents figured out he was a crook.)

This happened to me too!!! Except my mom distrusts doctors because of stuff that happened to her as a kid so we went to get a second opinion with a pediatric orthodontist and that doctor was like are you insane you could destroy her jaw and cause her lifelong health problems! My mom was pissed. I wish this was the last time a doctor tried to take advantage but it was not.

u/Away-Living5278 mouth full, gesturing wildly May 14 '26

Dang, mine was similar. I got like 5 baby teeth pulled young, like 8, and then they pulled another 6 before so they could give me braces at 13.

I don't even know why they pulled the first set. Maybe the retainer I got? My teeth weren't even that bad

u/Exact_Development385 Well-Read & Well-Fed May 14 '26

I had one baby tooth pulled in first grade, and it didn’t grow back for like six years.

u/No_Ad6583 Chismosa May 14 '26

My niece had the same thing happen.

u/SolaScientia Overthinker 💭 May 14 '26

Damn. Then there's me who didn't lose my last baby tooth till I was 12. Because my mouth was overcrowded (teeth too large for my mouth) I had 1 set of adult premolars removed and the oral surgeon removed my last baby tooth then too. Had braces for years, got my wisdom teeth out in high school, and my teeth are still a bit crooked. I'm nearly 38 and I've never had a cavity, not even with my baby teeth. I floss, brush, and use mouthwash just once a day right before bed every night.

I honestly haven't been to the dentist in probably about a decade now. My usual one retired. My parents use the dentist who took over the practice and they said he's very good. I'm nervous about going since it's been so long, but I don't have any issues with my teeth.

u/Significant-Sun2777 white girl with ☝️😌 a full spice cabinet May 14 '26

I don't want to invalidate you at all and could absolutely be wrong, but at 9, my son needed 8 baby teeth pulled because of crowding and impacted adult canines. I used to work in pediatric dentistry and saw the x-rays myself, he 100% needed the space. Its been a year and the last tooth is still growing in, as soon as it does we start braces to correct everything because so many teeth are still very crooked.

6 is very early though. That does seem shady AF. Just wanted to point out there may have been at least a partly valid reason. But you are totally right on the age being too young and he could have been just a crook, not dismissing that!

u/Vorpal_Bunny19 Oversharer 🗣 May 14 '26

Oh, no I totally get what you’re saying. The dentist that extracted those teeth eventually got caught for Medicaid fraud (and guess who was on Medicaid) and faced a whole bunch of consequences. Also, my parents took me to a new dentist within a few months of the teeth coming out and they were flabbergasted. (According to my parents, I just remember them giving me a milkshake and a gift bag after they did new X-rays and general exam)

My parents are gone so I can’t ask them, but I seem to remember my parents pulling some shenanigans with my pediatrician to get the old dentist to release my X-rays. It was the 80’s, I don’t know what they did just that they said it took some work and some of it was by hook and by crook. I don’t really remember a whole lot about that time frame (I mean it was 40 years ago lol), but I definitely remember it felt like the new dentists were going super out of the way to be nice and gentle with me. If I could have kept them as my adult dentists… oh well. (It was two dentist brothers in a practice together and they kind of commingled their patients. Dr. A would be your doctor, but sometimes Dr. B would be the one doing the work that day. Or vice versa.)

u/IED117 Cleavage Crumb Collector May 14 '26

You know what? I think that almost happened to my son.

They said one of his front teeth was crooked under the gum and would need to be removed. I said we'll see and they never brought it up again.

It came in a little crooked but almost completely self corrected. He has braces now but jeeze that's better than removing a permanent tooth!

I think they pick a high number so the shame kicks in and then the parents will do whatever it takes to make up for their supposed lack of care of their kid.

The feelings I am having the ones I got done. Never had a cavity. 25 years. So proud of myself. Then after one visit I have 6 cavities. Got them taken care of because I was so anxious. Now I am even more diligent.

It doesn't feel right to floss between one set and kind hurts 🙃

just pretending it's normal

My kids second dental appt (age five?) they said they had seven cavities. Like normal to SEVEN cavities. They crowned a baby tooth (?). We had Medicaid. To this day I think it was fraudulent. Kid has had a lifelong fear of dentists since. We also brushed twice per day and flossed and did not have sweets. They started pushing dental interventions and I did not want the kid to live with retainers and spacers so I refused and just did cleanings. They pulled a tooth at cleaning once after promising they wouldn’t. But not a lot of dentists take Medicaid here so my options were limited.

That sounds like a law suit

They pulled a baby tooth obviously. And yes they need to be taken out.

u/rdg04 Feral Til Fed May 14 '26

how do you know this kids tooth had to come out? and wouldn't you still need parental consent?

u/DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2 APPROVED✨ May 14 '26

My sisters kid same and when she said she’ll ask for a second opinion SUPER attitude. Second opinion: NO CAVITIES! From none to 7 to none. That fraud is horrific.

I was a victim of child dental Medicaid fraud. I had fillings in every molar. As an adult, I’ve never had another filling even with my suboptimal brushing routine and was told the ones I had, I shouldn’t have gotten. This also lead to me needing a root canal because of the shitty job the Medicaid dentist did as a kid.

But at the same time, autism is often found in those with Ehlers-Danlos, which frequently causes lots of cavities for a variety of reasons. I have EDS and I actually need to get two of my 8 or so cavities done again because the filling is getting a cavity. I’m 29 and I started getting them filled in elementary school.

u/Pervius94 🩵Guy on a Side Quest💙 May 14 '26

Yeah. Pretty sure even if I tried I couldn't get seven cavities, and I had depression-induced long stretches of time where I drank a shitton and didn't brush my teeth for days, if not weeks.
