I think dd might need one. She had toothache yesterday while eating some sweets. I've told her she needs to cut down on sweets. Which she seems to have taken on board. Also explained that everything has some sugar in so tooth care needs to be a priority. Now she's just had some pain while eating a poppadom.
So I suspect she has a hole. Ill take her to the dentist next week. She's already not keen on dentists after been hurt during a checkup last year, dentist was a bit rough and made her cry. She's phobic about needles full stop so the two things combined aren't great.
She asked me how they numb you for a filling and when I said injection she started full on screaming and sobbing. If she does this at the dentists which she will do I'm just worried they won't do the filling.

How do you get a hysterical needle phobic 12 yo to have a filling?
