I took my children to get their teeth cleaned and asked the dentist to give them a check up. In the end of the consultation, the desntist called me and said:
- One of Lia's teeth has a big cavity. So big we should do a root canal, but it will be better if we just pull the tooth out.
I lost my balance, almost cried, and just gathered enough energy to say:
- No one will pull anything from my child's mouth. Copy the X ray into a disk, give it to me. We are leaving now.
I sent a copy of the X ray to Brazil, to a dentist I trust and immediately started looking for another dentist. I searched, searched and searched, then I finally found a Lebanese dentist who graduated from a university in California.
We got there, she said:
- We have two options
Before she said anything I interrupted:
- No one will pull her teeth...
The dentist looked terrified.
- Of course not. Who said that?
- Dr Ali Mattar said we had to pull her tooth out, that would be the best option.
- - Actually, I want to try a new technique I learned in USA and avoid the root canal. If that does not work, we may have to go for a root canal, but extraction is out of question.
I cried my eyes out, hugged the dentist and sat down, happy Lia's tooth would be safe.
Não entendo muito inglês, mas pelo que me parece, vc levou seus filhos no dentista e um deles sugeriu arrancar o dente da sua filha ao invés de fazer canal. Vc ficou desesperada, logicamente, e achou um outro dentista que disse que arrancar o dente da sua filha seria a última opção (ainda bem!!)que iria fazer um tratamento de canal.
