 Managed to have a single amalgam filling placed in a deciduous tooth when he was 9 years old

 Last dental visit was 18 months ago when repair of a fractured incisal tip was attempted; the tooth is asymptomatic at present

 Mother reports this was a traumatic experience for her son as the dental nurse held her son down to allow the dentist to examine the tooth

 Dentists have since declined to provide care as the patient has refused to co‐operate with examination and treatment

 Now an irregular attender

 Only brushes his teeth once a day or when he remembers and refuses help
