When it comes down to the wire, sedation dentistry for children is probably the best option. This is especially true if the child needs to have major work done. Kids tend to be more afraid of the dentists than adults do, though to be honest not all that much more afraid. This type of dentistry is great for keeping kids happy while providing them with the service that they need to have done. It’s the simple task of having them fall into a sedation sleep, and then getting the work done while they don’t even know it’s happening. It’s a win win situation really.
