[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 499860"] Under a general in hospital they can do it all in one go. If the dentist who takes your insurance were to refer due to medical need to a in hospital pedi dental specialist then wouldn't it be covered? I'm in Canuk ville where referrals like that work under the gov insurance we have (social medical) for the kids. My oldest had his pseudo teeth and cavities all done under general in hospital by a pedi dentist all in one go. I suspect my middle child will end up doing the same as soon as I can get a referral from the new doctor we have (he's on vacay out of country until April though but hey I still finally have a doctor). IV sedation is not as effective as a general in my opinion when it comes to high strung situations like dental work for kids. Especially with spec kids. Did he say what sedative he was going to use if need be? Nitrous gas tends to wear off fast and Katamine is a type of sedation that only has a 10 to 20 minute half life (though katamine is an intramuscular sedative not intravascular aka IV). I have experience with Katamine sedation with my 6 yr old (scary how they hallucinate on it) and the doctor doing the sedation said they are too easily aroused by touch or external stimuli with katamine sedation. They twitch too (good lords and ladies did my girl twitch just as much as she did hallucinate). Did the doctor talk to you about the pros and cons of sedation? I hope so. Anyhow, I'm rambling and thread stealing here - I'll keep you all in thought and sending board ju ju for a quick and easy. [/QUOTE]
