7 year old gets dental fillings- comfortably!
Dr. Tomasik walks through their approach to make sure all of their patients stay safe and comfortable while getting dental work done at Tomasik Family Dental
Key steps:
1) TV and headphones for distractions (blankets are nice too)
2) Nitrous (laughing gas) for relaxations
3) A great pre-shot numbing jelly
4) Getting a numbing shot without realizing it!
5) A skilled dentist to get the fillings done well as quickly as possible

Exactly! Terrible time for a conversation
I got my first filling in feb, it hurt so bad before the filling but during they gave me sleepy juice & gave me a 2 shots to numb it & gave me 5 minutes to relax,I raised my hand once for pain & gave me another shot, lasted abt 3 hours cuz my cavity was in my tooth nerve no soreness after, I got one yesterday & it was fast 1h & 30 mins, 5 shots because I was more scared then last time & now soreness (this tooth wasn’t causing pain but my dentist recommended to get it filled)

May I ask if it’s safe to use for enlarged tonsils/OSA? And are you allowed to eat or drink beforehand?
@TomasikFamilyDentalAustin

Nitrous is very safe and typically can be used even for patients with OSA. It’s ok to eat and drink beforehand but we advise against any large heavy meals for the few hours before.
I was ten when I got my first filling and wasn’t numbed and It hurt like hell I wish this was my experience

It is very safe. For some, if the amount is too high, it can make you a little dizzy. The dentist can turn the level down which should take care of that

It’s possible but would be best to have a dentist check to see if it’s just stain or a cavity

If you don’t fill a tooth that has a cavity (decay) in it, the cavity will keep growing until it gets to the nerve causing pain and infection.

We actually have 2 lasers- a hard and soft tissue laser. While our laser can do cavities, in our opinion, it’s not ideal for all situations. It can take longer and in some cases still requires numbing.
Sad. No child should have a need to this. There is really a need to educate the child and especially the parents about dental hygiene.

Your comment is ignorant. Kids who have any type of breathing issues (such as asthma, but there are others as well) develop cavities from the medication they have to use and/or are more susceptible to cavities because they breathe through their mouth too much.
