Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hi everyone, I noticed several of you are talking about your kids being sedated for test or surgery this summer. I just wanted to share that our dentist suggested the next time Bridget needs to be sedated that I let her know so she can do a good cleaning and x-rays. She said it would be easier especially for our children that have a hard time at the dentist. Good luck to all the children undergoing sedation. mom to Bridget 11 ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be a downer, but anyone who is having a child sedated, for any medical procedure, please watch what is going on carefully! I learned the hard way! My son, , was killed by oversedation and failure to monitor. I will not even allow my older son, Zack, be sedated for a dental exam. I don't mean to scare anyone, but I swore to that I would share his story, so that no other parents will have to go though what we are. Naturally, our children have to be sedated for some procedure, but please keep an eye on what is going on and how they are being monitored. Good luck to you all!

Fortunately as he has gotten older cleanings are easier but if he needed any work done I would try to put it off until he needs something else done.
