Rat...Heh,<BR/><BR/>Our son also requires GA for dental work. Rather then going to a private clinic you might try to find a Pediatric Dentist who can refer to a local Hospital (and then your Anesthetist charges might be covered by your Provincial Medical plan... ). This is how things worked out for us the last time around (westcoast.... BC med paid the bill for the GA). <BR/><BR/><BR/>D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-50186603544706695592007-09-13T20:26:00.000-03:002007-09-13T20:26:00.000-03:00Our son has finally learned to accept getting the ...Our son has finally learned to accept getting the haircut, but it wasn't easy. We had to get him using scissors on his own first before he'd accept anyone coming near his head with them. Unfortunately, he has also taken to cutting his own hair, which has led to some fairly funky haircuts! For us, the big problem is dentistry. We have not been able to get a dentist within a foot of his mouth. All those weird looking shiny tools, the antiseptic environment, and having a stranger look into his mouth are too much. The place looks like those other places where he had those painful vaccinations! We had to restrain him to get an x-ray and, no surprises, we discovered three cavities. However, instead of a simple filling like most kids we have to go to an orthodontic surgeon who will have to do a few simple fillings while my son is under a general anesthetic. All this at about four times the cost of regular fillings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-4924344831714558382007-09-13T18:57:00.000-03:002007-09-13T18:57:00.000-03:00Nice "dew"...

He was so upset/angry/frightened the last time he cried for an hour. <BR/><BR/>D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
