Hello, I appreciate any advice thank you. As I have been reading here about cavities that are decayed right to the gum and how it’s much easier for the dentist to pull more so than a healthy tooth...one question is about a baby tooth on a 5 year old. Very large cavity and on the inside of the tooth it has chipped away leaving just a little bit of the tooth left on the other side. How will the dentist ever grip this tooth? Will he need to have the gum cut to get somewhat of a grip on it? Next question is , is a local safe for a 5 year old? Most children are more nervous about dentists than adults. Wondering if the new tooth will push out this one. Is that a possibility? What are the options to go about this extraction in a safe way? Gas ? Local? Seems like this can be a very traumatic experience for such a young child. I’m here just to talk with someone and to be more educated on this. Thanks
