    Oooh boy, let me introduce you to the joy that is pediatric dentistry. I perform anesthesia at some peds dental places. Not unheard of to put full crowns or multiple extractions on kids under 3. I’m talking like at least one a day is that bad.

      Aren’t their teeth just going to fall out? Why put them through the pain of a crown instead of just pulling it?

        You also need your baby teeth to be present in order for your adult teeth to grow in properly. The entire jawbone changes as teeth grow and develop.

        It does become an open wound in a real gross place for a while after pulling, I’d think any doctor of any sort would like to keep that to a minimum. You also don’t want to leave them bare without a crown because they’ll still have them for a while at least and cavities hurt.
