Poor Old Bill! wishing him lots of luck!
is there nowhere else that can do dentals w/o GA, other than where Jill has previously mentioned?
I often wonder about the pros and cons of a Dental without GA :? Having seen inside a Buns mouth I find it difficult to understand how a thorough dental, with re-shaping of the crowns of the molars to assure good attrition etc, can be achieved whilst Bun is awake :?
Then there is the risk of accidental soft tissue damage with the dental burr. The tissue at the back of the mouth is very vascular and I'd worry about the risk of haemorrhage :?
Also, the stress factor for the Bun. Given that stress can cause problems with GI motility :?
On balance at the moment I think the risk of a GA is one I will take. But if I could actually see a thorough Dental being done on a concious Bun I might change my mind. Although how cheek retractors and a tongue protector could be used I dont know :shock: :? :shock:
