Thanks Cindy.

At the moment he is thinking about having the tooth pulled, because we don't have the moeny to pay for it (well I could put it on my credit card, but not the actual money).

If he keeps having it cleaned out and temporary fillings (which is what they have done so far) I could do it in September when we get out child care rebate (something always comes up the gobble up extra $$). This would be my preferred option, having had thousands of $ orthodontic work meyelf, I'd rather he looked after the teeth he has rather than see having them pulled as the easier option, but he just sees it as a waste of money and wants it out.
