Dentists Send More Kids to Hospital for Dental Work
Dentists Send More Kids to Hospital for Dental Work in fluoridated Rochester, NY: It's a disturbing trend, local dentists are sending more kids to the hospital to have their teeth fixed. Dentists said they're seeing preschoolers with 10 and sometimes or more rotten teeth that they're forced to fill, cap and even pull.
It happened to two of the Adams' children. Eileen and her husband are average parents playing and trying to keep their kids healthy by making sure they brush regularly.
But it wasn't enough to keep 8-year-old Emily and 3-year-old Derek out of the operating room.
"It finally got to the point where I was brushing her teeth and she was screaming in pain," Eileen Adams, mother of threes, said. "I decided that that was the time to get to a dentist."
Emily and Derek had a total of 16 teeth worked on before age 2.
