My sister has always had a fear of the dentist growing up, like a lot of other people but her first sedative dentistry experience is one that I will never forget. I was ten and she was seven when our dad had to take us to the dentist. She was so afraid that she told the dentist that our dad didn’t buy her a toothbrush and that is why her tooth was bad.
So of course the Dentist in Pflugerville, TX comes out and talks with daddy. Then he goes back in and my sister thinks up something else to avoid him doing any work. After that story didn’t work he put his mask back on and she pulled out the big guns. She wet herself and his chair!
My daddy was determined to have her tooth taken care of so we went home, cleaned her up, and back to the dentist office we went. Instead of playing around our dentist (who by the way was a wonderful dentist like those at https://urbansmileschicago.com/ and is still her dentist today) sedated her. She slept right through everything. It was only when she was coming to that things got super funny. She must have been dreaming because she was telling us all about her horse and we need to feed it. She even tried to feed the car when we walked out.
The biggest thing was her bladder fell asleep from the sedation which we thought was super funny. It didn’t explode but she did spend the whole night in the bathroom when that sucker woke up. To this day if she tells us she is going to the dentist we crack up and ask if she will be asking for sedation.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I have never heard of sedating before although I suppose some do- the closest I got was laughing gas and I never did figure out why it was called that 🙂
