FAQ: Abcess

Question:
I have an eight year old daughter who is terrified of the dentist. She has an abcess and a few cavities. What is your suggestion to sedation dentistry for her. What are the risks involved. I feel this would work out better for her. ...Visitor from CA

Answer:
You are best off seeing a pediatric dentist who is trained to use i.v. sedation to treat your daughter if this is found to be necessary. In our state, you must have a special sedation permit to treat a child under the age of 18 and most pediatric dentists have this as part of their residency. Be sure to inquire about it when you locate a child specialist.
