Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hello all - I'm wondering if anyone has had to use general anesthesia to manage dental care. My son can get through cleanings and does not have meltdowns or anything major like that. No tantrums or trauma. However, he is extremely hyper, talkative and sensitive to stimuli which makes it hard for the dentist to do the work. Fluoride treatments and x-rays have not always met with success, for example. Now he needs two fillings and some additional work which would mean a long time in the chair. The dentist recommended that we bring him to a hospital setting to be put under fully for treatment. I am considering it, but it seems sort of extreme and potentially expensive. I'm wondering if anyone has a) gone this route or sought a second opinion/approach either successfully or unsuccessfully. Any information, feedback or perspective on the topic would be welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
