  - nevermind, I didn't realize the kid was that young. IV probably isn't an option. But can he take a pill sedation? Basically like an ativan. - sycor Feb 2, 07:30
  - I've never gone under for dental work. just IV sedation. I wished I hadn't done that at all, just the novocaine. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:29 4
    - IV sedation for dental work is great. I had to get like 4 fillings and crown so I just get sedated and did it all at once instead of multiple visits. -- nm - sycor Feb 2, 07:31 2
      - I reacted badly to it and wished I'd gone without. but with a kid than young, you can't put them through serious work while they're awake. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:32 1
        
        oh I know. They have to use something, I was just trying to think of a cheaper alternative than the gas. But I'm sure groiny already looked into that - sycor Feb 2, 07:34
