Re: Help! Is dental sedation safe for kids with ASD?

[Guest guest]

we've done it and the only thing is that its hard to wake them up. like a very

long nap. my boy is a big guy but they gave him silly things to drink first,

they did it at a hospital where he could be closely monitored and they spoiled

him rotten. I would do it again. If I have to. They went in and did some

stuff we didn't want to do in the future. Just to get it over with. Downside

theres metal in his mouth when they capped two teeth. It was hard for him to

get used to it. But I think its all relatively safe. Except the metal. I

guess they are metal. They are shiny like metal.

They are made of silver, which means there is mercury (at least I believe so).

My son had three of these in his mouth! I was so thankful when those baby

teeth came out.

Can they do the laughing gas? My son had major work done today and he had

the laughing gas. His eyes were wide open the whole time, watching cartoons

and when he got 4 nova cane shots, his hand was still like a noodle.super

relaxed. When the procedure was over he was able to walk by himself to the

truck and was starving. Very little side effects. He is a wriggly,

screamer and it was the peaceful experience. He didn't even know he had the

shots and usually the drill sound would send him through the roof and he

didn't even react to the sound. Also, I have a friend that worked with

someone that lost their 5 year old while under at the dentist. If you have

to do it I would, but I was so surprised at how great the laughing gas

worked.

Good luck.these decisions are SO hard and I was a wreck this morning going

through this.

We' ve never resolved this question...Was it the nitrous oxide or the fillings

that caused the tics? My son was 9 1/2, never had any tics (we were watching for

them due to family genetics), he left the dentist with MAJOR tics, eye blinking

and grunting! IT didn't go away, ever...he's now 21 years old. I did some

research into tourettes and the nitrogen and synapse is the problem. Nitrogen?

Nitrous oxide? or was it simply mercury?fillings. My daughter has had to survive

the dentist without anything, and we found a great pediatric dentist who works

miracles with kids. She has ASD and doesn't speak and is 8. Severe anxiety

disorder too. Dianne

There is info @ chelatingkids2/

in the files re anesthetic agents. Nitrous oxide, 'laughing gas' is a

huge B12 depleter. It can cause serious reprecussions in many.

Yes, silver fillings contain mercury. Glad they are out now!

D at the end. supposed to be fine for ASD kids-he went to sleep and was fine an

hour later.

For my #1, tics were caused by yeast overgrowth. So possibly the

fillings, which contained mercury if they were amalgams.

Yep, these were some of my #1's tics. Gone now, with several

supplements and a good yeast protocol.

Someone mentioned B12 deficiency as a possibility. One of the

supplements my #1 takes is a multi B vitamin, so it might be that also.
