When I was a kid I really like that my dentist explained everything to me beforehand Like he even when it used the air he did it on my skin first
But also if it's still baby teeth why are you feeling cavities unless they're huge?
ETA. I would go to the dentist who doesn't go looking for problems

I think you will find most dentist who accept Medicaid tend to be cavity happy. That's because they do not make money on your visit unless there is some kind of procedure. There are a few types of dental offices; some that are primarily Medicaid, some that take Medicaid and also insurance or private pay, and private pay only. There have been so many expose stories regarding the shady world of Medicaid only offices and how they do unnecessary procedures on anyone just to make a dollar. Of course they showed you the x-rays and seemed patient - they wanted you to trust them and know that most of us have no idea what we are looking at when we look at a dental x-ray. My kids were on Medicaid for a few years but we went to an office that took both, and found the dentist to be conservative and typically for kids with tiny cavities, would wait it out and most often it would resolve itself by the next appointment. If you took your kids to a Medicaid dentist and he found and filled lots of small cavities as you said, he was most likely trying to make money off of the visit by putting your child through unnecessary pain.
There are also different schools of thought in dentistry, just like in any other medical field. Some dentists are more conservative and others are more aggressive.

Did you find them to be cavity happy? I went to one dentist that did not take medicaid and they said my ds has 9 cavities. I went to shore dental for a second opinion and they came back with as many cavities but not all on the same teeth. I feel like I going in so blind with this. Btw k have private insurance and the other place was out of network so it would ha e costume over 2k to fix his teeth.
