About 9 months ago DS who was 3 at the time had to have dental surgery under a general anathetic.
He had one molar pulled out and 3 fillings put in his other teeth.

It went absolutly perfectly and he is still a lover of the dentist. We even had to go back to get his spacer put in and there were no problems getting him there.
DS is also quite a sensitive child and remembers everything.

Having had a horrible experience as a child at the dentist my parents could not get me to go back without panic attacks and absolute fear. I agree with Divvy and would not want him to go through what he did without the general.

I would absolutly ask another opinion though and then decide the best for your DD!
