Dear parent. The child suffers every time the treatment is postponed. Infact each time the pain increases . So don't delay any more. Start the dental treatment on a clinic you feel all your doubts have been answered. Now regarding general anaesthesia- if you don't want general anesthesia discuss with the dentist about doing it with local anaesthesia. Just that it needs great cooperation from parents . As multiple visits will be needed. Many parents falter here. The Moment pain subsides the parent misses the rest of the appointment. Then the child experiences pain after a while. Hope this helped
