[quote=Anonymous]My almost 7y.o. will have his first tooth cavity fixed next week. The dentist's office routine in these cases is to administer painkillers first on an empty stomach, and then to use nitrous oxide. I am reluctant to go ahead with this, for 2 reasons: 1) I am not sure exactly how my child would respond to that, and I am afraid he would freak out the way his sister had in the past (having to use a mask and so on); my approach would be to talk with him about what to expect and so forth. 2) It's crazy expensive, and over the 2 visits he would need, we'd be out 400$ (ins doesn't cover it). WWYD? Any experiences? Is it really the best course, or has your child had a good experience without laughing gas? I'd really appreciate any opinions here...[/quote]
