Any UK dentist do crowns/caps on toddlers?!
Question: Any UK dentist do crowns/caps on toddlers.?
My daughter has ECC (or 'bottle mouth'). Its a long story but from 6 dentist I've seen none will do a filling, cap or crown or anything to save the teeth. The only option they seem aware of is extraction but I KNOW from online that in America its a different story and preserving the teeth until they fall out naturally seems a top priority.
Here the attitude seems to be 'oh well, they're only baby teeth'.
After seeing 6 dentists I don't know whether to keep on trying or accept defeat that in this country I am not going to get the treatment she could have. (one dentist was private, one hostpital, one paediatric the others NHS family dentists)Health Question & Answer

Hi hun,
I do feel for you but I'm sorry to say that you are fighting a losing battle ! No toddler will be given such treatment in the UK , perhaps a filling if necessary, but that's it .
You're right, here the attitude does seem to be " they are only baby teeth" and you will not change that attitude no matter how hard you try .
Try not to worry about it, they will start falling out in a year or two anyway , I know it's not what you want to hear but there's nothing you can really do I'm afraid, unfair I know !
