General Anesthesia for DD3 cavities?

[mom2rtk]

My step son has poor baby teeth and has recently started complaining about his teeth hurting. We took him and they wanted to pull teeth and put crowns on a bunch. This dentist is apparently notorious for wanting to do expensive procedures right away. All three of us are in agreement that while his teeth are bad he has not complained about them since. He was really good when he was younger going to the dentist but we think at one of his visits the dentist didn't do enough freezing and it hurt. Now he has to be bribed to go!

I just had my first root canal myself and would rather have the root canal done again then go through the core and crown work afterwords. 2 and half hours in the chair with the freezing coming out halfway through? No thanks!

Did you consider another opinion? Maybe there are less involved ways of treating him.
