Hi, I’m from Whitby. My son is 10 -years -old. He is fighting from cancer. While playing with his friend, they both had a fight. My son broke his upper front tooth. He has been suffering from severe pain for several days. I’m worried if it can be fixed. I discussed this with one of my colleagues and she mentioned a dental clinic that specializes in dental crown procedures in Whitby. But with the bad experience from our previous dentist, my son is willing to go for the treatment. He feels really scared after it. I tried many ways to convince him but was in vain. I have already taken an appointment with them for the next week. Is there any good way to convince him? Is there anyway so I can explain to him what is done. If you have any experience with this treatment, I would like to hear from you. Please share it with me.
Hi Patrikjo:
I’m sorry to learn that your son is dealing with cancer and now a broken tooth. That is not fun. Having raised 4 sons myself I can relate to the stress they cause. I suggest contacting the clinic where you have the appointment booked and explain to them about your son’s past negative dental experiences and ask for help. If his fear is around the dental procedure itself they may suggest a light sedative to help him relax. Make sure that they are aware that he is a cancer patient and tell them about any drugs or treatments he is currently taking. It is important to get the tooth fixed as soon as possible because decay could set in and cause a bigger and more expensive problem. That is what I would tell your son -either it gets fixed now or it will be more trouble and potentially more painful later. Hope my suggestion helps. ((((HUGS)))))
