My eight year old son has a toothache
Question about my son teeth
My eight year old son has been complaining of a toothache in his bottom back molar. I have not taken him to see a dentist in nine months. I had is dental appointment but missed it due to other family issues that came up. I re-booked his appointment but it is not until June. I am trying to get in sooner now that he has a toothache.
I tried looking at the tooth in question but it just looks like his other teeth and it is not loose. I am worried that he may have a cavity since I was three months late on his dental appointment. He never had a cavity before. I am looking for advise on how to help easy the toothache pain until I can get to the dentist (hopefully in a day or two)
Also if it is a cavity is there any advise on how to easy my son though getting a filling? I am not sure how he will react to having to have dental work. He is not the greatest about getting the cleaning done.
