My daughter has to get a tooth extracted next week and it's going to be awful. We don't want to have her sedated. We have found a wonderful dentist who is a homeschooling mother of six and very good with children, but that don't make it a walk in the park!
She said my dd (almost 4 years old) will get wrapped in a papoose thing that holds her arms against her body, and I am supposed to be there to hold her head still for an anticipated twenty minutes of her screaming agonizing screams (this is what the dentist told me to expect). Her mouth will be numb so she won't be in pain, it will just be a traumatic experience. If I can't hold her head still, it will take longer.
So is there anything that will make this better? Or just anyone who survived having their little one go through this?
