Dental assistant here with a 3yr old of my own. Strapping a child down is the safest option. It’s for his protection. Children can be unpredictable when using needles or anything that a kid can hit or harm himself. Ofcourse we try to be comforting same so patient with them. We want to keep the kid 100% safe. My kid has 2 cavities & their dentist wants to wait until they have more so the can sedate him to do it. I ran when I was told that. More money out of my pocket & my child does not need sedation due to the effects. Also depending on how small the cavity is you can avoid a filling all together. Other times not
I want my child numbed and strapped to have his done. Or if it’s small enough the medicine to treat it.
I took my girl today and she has a cavity in the back bottom row of her mouth and they put some medicine that stains the tooth black on it to treat it until they can do a filling. We’re going back in three months for a fluoride treatment and to reapply the medicine. You could see what your dentist thinks about that medicine if you’re unsure
