[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a molar? They need to last until age 10. My 5 year old son had many cavities filled with novacaine. He got milk bottle cavities before age 2 from breastfeeding all night. They were controlled with SDF and brushing with xylitol and MI paste and weaning until he was old enough to hold still. The pediatric dentists kept rubbing their hands together with $$ in their eyes thinking about putting him under [b]general anesthesia[/b]. They were filled by my regular dentist with just novacaine. [/quote] Who on earth puts a child under general anesthesia for cavities, unless there are extenuating circumstances? Nitrous is not general anesthesia, which typically requires intubation. It isn't even really twilight sedation.[/quote]
