Mom takes daughter to dentist, CAS calls about “neglect”

The CBC reports on the case of Melissa Lopez who took her daughter to a dentist in Whitby last year and was told her 10-year-old had nine cavities. Lopez blanched at the prospect of the cost of fixing nine cavities so she checked another dentist. He said there were fewer than that so Lopez had the work done there. In June the CAS called the family home on a complaint filed by the first dentist about possible child neglect. CBC
