Dear Sir/Madam!
I have a 3.5-year-old daughter. In the past she was diagnosed relatively late (at the age of 2) with lactose intolerance, which later resolved. She is also very small and weighs about 11.5 kg, which is significantly too little for her age, but poor appetite has been a problem for almost her entire life.
Consequently, another problem is that her teeth are very fragile. Her upper incisors are already quite badly affected, although they are not yet black (they are brown), and only on the front surface. The first molars are also beginning to be affected in places, and tartar is already accumulating on the lower teeth as well. We brush her teeth regularly, but I cannot prevent the gradual accumulation of tartar and decay. Last autumn, at a private practice and for payment, her teeth were protected with a fluoride solution, but the condition soon began to worsen again.
I would very much like to have her teeth treated, because I am afraid that once they start becoming sensitive she will simply stop eating, and she is already critically thin, so we have regular weight checks and consultations at PKLJ.
Her personal paediatric dentist says that at her age they do not treat teeth, so he also will not or cannot issue a referral for dental treatment under general anaesthesia at the dental clinic in Ljubljana.
I would like to know whether you perform dental treatment in such young children under general anaesthesia, what the price and waiting time for such a procedure are (we are from Ljubljana). If you do not perform such procedures, I would like to know whom I can contact or what you can advise me.
Kind regards and pleasant holidays,
Marija
