  • Cavities filled and oral conscious sedation

    We are scheduled to have a cavity filled for our 4 year old next week, and he has a lot of anxiety at the dentist, so they are planning to use oral conscious sedation. I’m nervous for him. I asked if we needed to do this procedure and they assured me we did and showed me the xray of the cavity and how it’s gotten worse over time we are good consistent brushers, but here we are. I’m nervous about how he’ll respond to the medicine, how long he’ll be “out of it” and if it will really help ease his nerves enough for them to do what they need to do. I know a lot of young kids have had this done…have any of you been nervous for your kid? Was it as bad as you made it out to be? Thanks in advance
