from holding bottles until 2 and half. I took her to three different pediatric dentists, all of them told me to fill them up even though she was just 2 and half. But all my chinese relatives/friends/neighhours told me to wait since she will have her teeth changed at 6. I decided to trust the dentist here and had her cavities filled up in hospital with general A. Now I am happy that we made the right decision, more reports said that the cavities in toddlers' teeth will impact the growth of permanent teeth. She was very fussy after waking up, but quickly turned to normal and happy again. So far we don't see any side effects from this surgery. Since your child has multi cavities, I will listen to dentist I were you.
