I certainly don't know all the details except its a sad story. In young children when they have cavities the nerve or pulp tissue can be removed to prevent infection or loss of the tooth. Again, I don't know but would guess to have all that work scheduled at one time the child might have had bottle mouth. Most often that is caused by putting a child to bed with a bottle full of juice. I think a lengthy procedure should be done in a hospital with a team in place. I doubt that a dental office is equipped if something goes wrong. I know I will get dumped on for saying this but IF this was an accurate treatment plan for this little child someone wasn't paying attention. This amount of decay doesn't happen over night.
