some people scare me

don't get me wrong, i love my job. hanging out with kids all day can be really fun and rewarding. but sometimes dealing with their parents is a downright nightmare. yesterday i cleaned this little boy's teeth, who was 6 years old. he had 3 cavities in 3 baby teeth, which were obvious on his xrays. the teeth would not fall out until he was around 11 years old. and his mother was adamant about NOT getting fillings in them and just leaving them. in her mind since they would fall out anyways it was a waste of money. she flat out asked me what would happen if she did just that. with the picture of this huge cavity staring at her in the face, i explained that over the next 5 years, the cavity will continue to get larger, move into the nerve of the tooth, cause an abscess infection, thus causing a tooth ache for her child and the tooth would most likely need to be pulled. then he would probably need a space maintainer so there would be room for his adult tooth to eventually come in, all of this costing much much more than a simple filling. after explaining this she had the balls to tell the front desk that i was ridiculous and just trying to scare her so she would spend the money. and she thought is was great that she waited till november to schedule this appointment and said "we'll see how big it is then" like a smart ass. how ignorant can you be?? i know this is terrible, but i hope that he gets an abscess just so she can feel like the loser she really is. i would hate for her son to go through that but all of her self righteous bull crap was completely uncalled for. people are so stupid.
