[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521654, member: 12886"] If they find that he wont have good pain control then they will do alternatives. This is a specialty clinic and I love most of the pediatric dentists there. There are many things that affect metabolizing of medicines and this is just one of them so you may have some other issue that blanket affects all medications you take??? It is all pretty interesting to me now that I am forced to learn about it. And given how many medications need enzymes to either convert them to the properties that work or that need them to break them down to be used, whatever..... it is amazing that more is not taught to patients and doctors in general about this. The dental office at first thought I was saying he was allergic and I had to explain totally. They were trying to tell me that most people are not allergic to topical medications. Now they have called three times and one of the girls said that it is actually fun learning about it, yeah LOADS of fun, LOL. My mind has been going over past medication issues with him. When he was just barely 3 he had his first MRI and of course they needed to sedate him. They got to the MAX level of anesthesia and he was wide awake. He had been poked in the feet, arms etc...so at that time I thought they had just worked him up so much that the adrenaline was blocking his sedation. What did I know. I did kick them all out and rocked him and he fell asleep and stayed asleep long enough for the MRI. His only other filling, he said that it hurt the whole time and I said, why didn't you tell them and he said he was scared to tell them. At the time I thought maybe it was more sensory??? that he didn't like them in his mouth??? but now I DO wonder if he was really in pain and so I figure it is better to make sure even though this is the best day ever to do it. It will stink having to make an appointment if he starts a new school....he hates missing school for appointments. Oh well, just thought I'd share... [/QUOTE]
