A costly "Sweet" bribe - The Op

We dispatched a team to the operating theatre yesterday to treat our six year old patient who come in pain several weeks ago. Our team arrived with our dental equipment at 7:30 am and were ready to receive the patient at 8 am.

Within 45 minutes, we did 4 restorations and 2 extractions for him before he was back in the arms of his parents.

The consequence of the sweets is the added cost of the theatre fees and the anaesthesia fees, not to mention the parents' and child's agony. In addition, early loss of deciduous teeth could give rise to the crowding of his adult teeth and more dental work!
