You make valid points, Ray. I have just come to the conclusion that there is no perfect dentist. We have to go with the one we feel most comfortable with. I believe it is wrong to force a patient to be sedated and therefore any dentist who insists on it is not a choice I would make. It involves drugging, which may have adverse effects on the patient, and induces temporary amnesia with effects lasting up to 24 hours. I believe it is irresponsible to enforce this. Patient choice should always be a priority.
