[QUOTE="buddy, post: 473218, member: 12886"] oh gosh, so glad you got him in. I think it is really smart just to knock him out so he wont remember. If you can (does he do iv well?) make sure they have the ??? cant remember the name, the medication they click on first so there is NO feeling with an IV insert...anyone...not the topical cream they use but the new one that just pops on and then completely numbs it... Makes a huge difference. They use gas for difficult child but problem is they have to be really good at breathing thru their nose when their mouth is open. dentist sent home one of the nose masks for him to practice...they get to choose color/flavor of the mask Our dentist said we would do that too if there were lots of issues. Luckily even with all the behaviors difficult child has he has only had one cavity. I will say that one filling is still sensitive to him after 4 years. Ortho says to have them shave it. Sometimes even a little tiny bump can cause it to zing a nerve when they bite down. might be super subtle he said. So next dental appointment we will tell them about it again. [/QUOTE]
