Olivia,<\/p>\n

First, I want to put your mind at ease. If the dentist is qualified to do sedation, then it is perfectly safe. \u00a0If takes a little extra training, so make sure they have it. \u00a0The reason for using it is that if the child moves or is uncooperative, then the drill can do serious damage to her. The sedation is to protect her.<\/p>\n

I have another question, I’d like to have answered before you continue with this pediatric dentist<\/a>. If your daughter has pitted molars, why hasn’t he suggested dental sealants. Those little molars can be a bacteria magnet and it’s important to keep them healthy for much longer than the rest of her baby teeth. \u00a0It bothers me that this seems to have been overlooked.<\/p>\n
