Hello Cobygurl, I am currently trying to find alternative ways to having my 7 year old daughters teeth filled and came across your post. I was wondering how the procedure worked out for you??

Hello All, I am hoping someone will be able to shed some light on what kind of anesthesia is best suited for PANDAS kids needing dental fillings. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS when she was 5 and she is now 7. She has 6 cavities she needs to have filled. I have already discussed with the dentist that I do not want her to have nitrous oxide or novocaine with epinephrine. I have also asked if she can have the procedures done without anesthetic but they didn't think that was a good idea as, the "sugar bugs" as they called them are too big. I have since learned that laser fillings could be an option, but I am unaware of any side effects that these might have. It was also suggested that she have propofol. If anyone has some insights as to how I could possible proceed, I would truly appreciate it!!
