[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We see a family dentist and two of my kids had a tiny cavity between teeth like this. If your child is getting regular checkups, the cavities should be fairly superficial and they shouldn’t need any sedation. Ours never even mentioned sedation and the kids were probably 6-8 yrs old (can’t remember exactly). It was quick and painless for both of them. [/quote] OP Here - The X rays showed that it is relatively superficial. We're religious about dental cleanings every 6 months, so I was pretty surprised that it's even there. Good to know that it was quick and painless for yours. After reading the responses, I'm leaning toward a 2nd opinion and finding someone that will do this without the drugs.[/quote] Nitrous oxide is not a drug. As soon as you take the mask off the effect immediately stops. If it’s too much your child can ask to remove the mask. [/quote]
