I've got 5 kids, none of them have great teeth but my youngest was complaining about toothache the other day and I managed to get an appointment at the clinic this morning.
Anyway, the dentist there said her teeth were in a really bad state, she needs a lot of work done on them - some need fillings or caps, and he wants to extract some as well. He says it would be better for her to go to the hospital and have everything done under general anaesthetic, but I'm really worried about putting her under - she's only 4.
My other kids have handled fillings alright just with injections, but they haven't ever needed as much done as my youngest does.
Has anyone else had their kid put to sleep for dental work? Or should I try to get the work done just with local anaesthetic?
