Guest guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Who said he is too old??We used anesthesia for dental work for older kids with DD all the time. Especially because they were older with a tendency to fight the dental care team. Hi All! Has anyone's child had dental work/cleaning under Nitrous Oxide? We have never used it. Freddie has historically gone into a surgery sweet under general anesthesia to have all is work done. He is too old for that now. Need to work him towards handling it all without drastic measures! I know about making sure there are no upper respiratory issues going and he does not have AAI going on, but just wondering if there are any other thoughts I am missing? Thanks!! nnaMommy to Freddie 10yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I was wondering the same thing (the 'too old' for anesthesia). We used general anesthesia when he needed a lot of work done. Any other times, I believe they use the Nitrous Oxide. They don't ask me about it. He goes to a good pediatric dentist that is willing to still take care of Josiah who is now 23.
