Hi,
My kiddo has developed a white pocket underneath a tooth that has had a cavity in for a bit of time. She has sensory issues so it has been a struggle to get anything done without sedation, which we will finally be able to do next month. The sedation dentist is very much against antibiotics and will only prescribe “if her face swells.” Is this drastic? Hasn’t the infection become quite problematic at this point or am I misunderstanding? She has no pain, never has with her dental problems. I am getting a second opinion tomorrow at a regular dentist, but sedation pediatric dentistry is not easy to find around here and getting a tooth pulled isn’t a viable option for her without going that route. Thanks.
