My youngest ds has refuses several times now to have his filling done at our usual private dentist. If he doesnt have the filling , in time, he will maybe need the pre molar extracted under a general anaesthetic. Therefore, I have asked for him to be refered to another dentist that administers Inhalation Sedation ,, like Gas and Air i think. My ds is 8 and has been in hopital a lot when a toddler. He has had 9 anaesthetics and is very nervous around masked and gowned doctors/dentists. He had a Tracheotomy in his airway when he was 18 months and has had Tracheal Reconstruction at G.O.Street.
Can any one advise about this technique to calm and relax nervous children when having fillings etc.
