Default Re: kids' dental expenses

Check your medical insurance. I think mine covers the anastegia (okay, that's GOT to be misspelled) if a young child needs major dental work. I want to say it covers root canals too, if that's part of what's needed.

One more thing . . .my youngest daughter has a cleft lip and palate so they're very concerned about her teeth, even though she doesn't have any yet. A quote from one her doctors: "Baby teeth are there to teach them how to brush." The point being, are all of the procedures necessary? (Could some cavities be left? Could a tooth be pulled instead of crowned?) Sorry if this sounds bad, it's just something to consider. Good luck!
