My son has a couple of small cavities (he's 4) and our family dentist won't work on him since he's so little. They sent us to a ped. dentist. The ped. dentist's office has a no-parent policy - no parent in the room with the child when he's seeing the dentist! They wanted to put him under nitrous oxide to keep his bouncing to a minimum to work on his two teeth, and I wasn't allowed to be in there!
I called to confirm the appointment, and asked if I could be in there, or at least in the hall watching... they were adamant - 'No.' I told them I was really uncomfortable allowing my 4 year old under gas and alone with a strange man and REALLY needed to be with him, even if it's in the hall. Her tone of voice sounded like I was nuts adn she said they can't do that!
He's the only ped. dentist for many miles... now I gguess I better find another one. His teeth aren't bugging him, so I guess I dont need to flip out about it.
I guess I just need some reassurance here.
