Yes: If dental rx is being refused it can be construed as abuse. Please ask for help from school nurese, family dentist or physician, clergyman.

Don't wait: I don't know what the 10 is that you are taking, and is your mom or dad not taking you to the dentist? You need to get this tooth treated before it causes : 1. Severe pain or 2. The cavity is so large that a root canal cannot be done or 3. The tooth breaks and then needs to be extracted. This tooth is a time bomb waiting to go off. Please get this addressed asap!
