Toddler grinds his teeth

Posted on August 30, 2014 by iowasmiles.

I have a two year old that is grinding his teeth. Should I be concerned?

Elle G. – Louisiana

Elle,

It is fairly common for young children to grind their teeth. We are not sure why, though there are a lot of theories. It could be as simple as just investigating a new sensation.

It could also be from teething pain or earaches.  If that is the cause, then you can try some tylenol or some other child appropriate pain reliever.

Most children stop this behavior around the age of six. It isn’t likely he’ll cause any damage. However, if you’ve eliminated everything you can and you’re still concerned, you can visit your pediatric dentist. But, this is a fairly normal behavior for children.

Cheap dentist is costing me a fortune

Posted on August 6, 2014 by iowasmiles.

I had a dental procedure done. I did some searching and found the dentist who does the procedure for the least amount of money. He was more than $1000 cheaper. But, what I thought would save me money has ended up costing me a fortune.  I’ve had two infections, the materials have broken more than once. I’ve had to miss work. It’s been a disaster. In fact, It’s cost me more than the amount of money I’ve “saved”.  I don’t really have a question, I just wanted to warn your readers. I’ve had to go back to him 7 times to fix this one procedure. Cheap isn’t a good idea.

Braden K. – Arlington, TX

Braden,

You have made an excellent point. Unfortunately, you’re not the first and you won’t be the last person to suffer the consequences of that same type of mistake.

There is a big difference between a cheap dentist and an affordable dentist.  An affordable dentist finds other, more ethical, ways to save you money.

I’d strongly recommend you stop going to this dentist to “fix” his work. He’s obviously not good at what he’s doing. You’d be better off going to a dentist who costs a little more, but does quality work. At least then you could stop going back for the same procedure.
