Dental surgery can be quite a daunting thought for an adult, topped only by the worry you go through as the parent of a child who needs dental surgery.

While it can seem worrisome, experienced dentists across the region from Cary NC, to Apex NC, all suggest that the best thing a parent can do in such a scenario is to stay as calm as possible. Openly displaying signs of fear in front of your child can be devastating for the little one who is already a little jittery. Discuss treatments options with your dentist in Cary. Read up on what to expect and explain it gently to your child in a calm, relaxed manner.

Keep your Raleigh Dental surgeon or Cary Dental surgeon apprised of any illnesses your child has as these may interfere with the procedure or medication.

Most Preston Cary dentists will recommend not consuming anything at all for at least 8 hours before the surgery, and not having water for the 3 hours preceding surgery. This is vital to ensure no complications occur when the anesthesia is administered.

On the day, allow your child to take their favorite toy, book or game along as a good luck charm or to keep them entertained and make them feel safe. Cary Dental specialists say that after surgery it is absolutely normal for your child to feel a little drowsy or dizzy from the anesthesia.
