    My 7 year old son had a cavity in his baby tooth that was positioned next to a molar and so they wanted to take care of it. They said the cavity was close to the nerve so we decided to let them fix it. (I wish I had gone through your course first). After that he was in a lot of pain for weeks after, so much so that we took him in to see if there was an infection, which the x-ray showed there was not. It finally seemed like it was getting better when I found what looks like an abscess on the gum on the tooth next to it, which is odd. ( he is a grinder and that is something we are working on, so that tooth is very worn down). We are seeing a specialist tomorrow and see what’s going on. They have mentioned extraction of the baby tooth might be necessary. Is it ok to let them take a baby tooth? I’m trying to avoid anabiotics and wanting to detox him as well. Any help and advice would be appreciated. I went through a lot of the information on the WC. Just really wanting to know if there is any danger in removing baby teeth. Thank you so much!

    Removing baby teeth if necessary is fine, and a better alternative to filling in cavities. Definitely go through the dental course in here, and look for a holistic dentist if available. X-rays do not always show infection properly and traditional dentists are not the best at figuring out the root of a problem -like medical doctors, they only know how to band aid the problem for the most part and often cause a bigger problem in the process
