Childrens Pediatric Sedation
Dental Phobia: Alternatives to sedation medications

Anesthesia and Asthma: I hate going to the dentist and having any work performed. The last few times I went, I had IV sedation. Unfortunately, the dentist kept me under for four hours and I had a series of asthma attacks over the following week. Would the oral pill be better for me? I am at the point where I'm considering hypnosis but can't find a dentist that practices it. ...Visitor from NY (answer)
Sedation for Children's Cavities: Our 3 year old daughter went to the dentist and it was discovered that she has a good amount of decay on her teeth. Eleven (11) cavities to be exact. Our pediatric dentist suggested that our daughter receive out patient surgery to fill all of the cavities at one time. My wife and I are a little nervous about having our daughter under general anaesthesia with an IV. Would it be better if she got some of the work done at the dentist office with the laughing gas? ...Visitor from MD (answer)
Dental Office versus Hospital: I need to have the surgical procedure done to remove a large Mandibular Tori. Is it safe to have this procedure done in the oral surgeon's office under sedation or is it a better idea to have it in a hospital setting? ...Visitor from PA (answer)
OK to be sedated for Root Canal? I been to the denstist twice for a root canal on the same tooth only because even with the 3 shots of pain killing medicine they gave me I still feel the pain. Now my dentist says he can't perform the root canal and I should go to a specialist. My question is can I have the root canal while under sedation (noxide-oxcide) or any other sedation? ...Visitor from Brooklyn (answer)
Drug Abuse History interferes with Dental Sedation? My daughter is a recovering IV drug user (clean for 2 1/2 years, with no tendencies to start up). She is having 4 wisdom teeth extracted and the oral surgeon's office indicates that they cannot put her to sleep to do this as it would have an adverse effect because of her past drug use. This sounds strange. Can you advise? ...Visitor from MI (answer)
Sedation and Cancer Therapy: I'm phobic about dentists. My teeth are terrible with missing teeth and fillings that are gone etc. I need dentures but am frightened of the "chair". I am also going through cancer treatments. Can I have my teeth pulled while going to radiation treatments? ...Visitor from PA (answer)
Anesthesia and Multiple Sclerosis: My mother has the advanced stages of Multiple Sclerosis. I believe she has an abcess tooth that is causing a temperature, and her one side of her face to be swelled up. I wanted to know if there was a way to pull the tooth, with anesthesia (without knocking her completely out). Also she hates fingers in her mouth ... she will normally bite down, even when we are brushing her teeth. Can you offer any advice to this area of concern. IS there any way that tooth can be pulled without knocking her out with anesthesia? ...Visitor from OH (answer)
Potential for Negative Reaction: I have A metal heart valve and take a medication (Warfarin). Can I have my dental work with Sedation? My teeth are in poor condition ...Visitor from NJ (answer)
Small Mouth: I have a very small mouth. It is hard to keep it open for long periods of time without a significant amount of pain. Would sedation be an option for me? I understand I would have to be evaluated as I take medication for HRT, High blood pressure, GERD, and depression. I have not seen a dentist in over 5 years. The last one I saw hurt me so bad because I could not open my mouth wide enough that I am just scared to go back.. ...Visitor from TX (answer)
Needle Phobia: I am going to get my wisdom teeth removed. I was wondering if I get I get the needles in the mouth and laughing gas will I have to have an IV in my arm when I have laughing gas? I am so scared of needles, so if I do, is there any way I can get around this? ...Visitor from MI (answer)
