Has anyone had their child put on general anesthesia for medical reasons, the dentist wants to put my 3 year old daughter to sleep and doesn’t want to try sleeping juice or laughing gas, want to know anyone who had gone though this? I read so many articles how dangerous anesthesia is on young children

Answer

My oldest had heart surgery 11 hours after birth, has had 12 surgery total over 1q years. 5 of them being open heart surgery, my 8yr old has tonsil removal at 4 and had his front teeth removed and back teeth capped at 3. My 5yr old had stomach surgery at 1 month old, my 2 yr old had adnoid removal at a 1yr old

Answer

What does your child need at the dentist that he wants to do general anesthesia? My 3 ur old just had a cavity filled with laughing gas and she was perfectly fine.

Answer

I would not unless it was absolutely necessary. I've had adverse reactions to anesthesia as a child and adult so I would not risk my kids with that

Answer

My youngest was put under when he was 3 to get his tonsils and adenoids removed. When he had to have his cavities fixed last year, they did a numbing injection. He was allergic to the only numbing injection the dentist have. There’s no other form of numbing injection for him. Now next Monday, he will go under to get the rest of his teeth fixed. He will be 6 in March.
