It is normal to feel guilty when your child gets their first cavity. Perhaps you think that you have not done enough to instill them with good oral hygiene habits or maybe you feel bad for the pain associated with getting cavities treated. If you feel guilty for any reason, it is important to realize that guilt does not repair your child's teeth. Instead of wasting your time feeling poorly about things you cannot control, try to concentrate on what you can control to ensure your child the healthiest future possible.
