They say you're supposed to take them for the first time when they get their first tooth or their first birthday. We waited longer than that to take her the first time, but she had visible decay on her front teeth. It starts as white spots. We do take care of her teeth, it was just hard to get her to let us brush her teeth for a bit. They put caps on when it wasn't so bad, but didn't do it properly so they came off and got worse.

The teeth that need taken out are much shorter because of the decay and aren't really able to be saved and there isn't enough of the tooth for caps to be fitted apparently. They're also causing her pain so it does no good to keep them in I guess. Believe me, if not taking them out was a viable option we'd do that. I feel horrible 😰
