If you’ve ever taken a child to the dentist you know, knows it can be stressful for everyone. Most children can’t sit still very long, especially when they have someone poking around in their mouth. Things just go downhill if they need to have Novocaine, drilling to fill a cavity, or a root canal. It can be almost impossible! Let’s face it, there is no amount of bribing or anticipation of a treat from the prize basket that can help overcome this dreadful situation.
It can be just as taxing if not more on the parents. So, what can you do?
These types of traumatic dental experiences as child turn into adults with an intense fear and even phobia of the dentist. All the sights, sounds, and strangers standing over you, can be overwhelming for just about anyone. On top of that, you had to sit still through the entire painful procedure.
But things have changed since you were a child. Today’s advancements have led safe sedative medication.
Allowing a child to receive the dental treatments they need without all the stress, being upset, or pain. The dentist can accomplish several procedures in one office visit. Best of all they won’t even remember much about the appointment.
