[QUOTE="witzend, post: 149053, member: 99"] I had at least that many when I was his age. Of course, I never brushed my teeth... and we didn't have flouridated water. My kids never had cavities until they were adults as we had sealants put on all of their teeth. Crowns seem a little extreme. You're talking root canals there. Are these baby teeth? Are they mature teeth coming in already rotten? He'd have to have had untreated decay for quite some time to need a root canal. What type of insurance do you have? Some of those HMO insurers are notorious for wanting to do root canals and crowns. Then they don't do it all at once, the root canal takes 6 - 7 visits. I'd check into what exactly it is that they are proposing before you agree to anything. We're very lucky. Our insurance pays 100% for check-ups (and most other basic work) every 6 months, and we're so vigilant we really don't have any problems. It's a whole different story without decent insurance.
