    Hi all,
    On a recent India trip my dentist mentioned that my dd (almost 4) has cavities in 2 of her teeth ( i think due to drinking milk with straw). I was advised to take her to a pediatric dentist where they would give her anaesthesia and treat it.

    Any advise on how to pick out a good pediatric dentist?

    Thanks in advance.

    i think you should ask the people about their experience with pedodontist in your area .
    also take into consideration , how cooperative your dd is with different kind of people ( eg . males ,females , old people or young people ).

    Good point, never really thought about what kind of dentist dd would be comfortable with. Thanks for the feedback.

    Beeamma, usually the pediatricians can make good recommendations - mine did and I have not regretted it my OBG directed me to my ped, my ped directed me to my kids' dentis - it is usually a person they know or they go to. I would personally choose that route.
