Hi Sir, My son is 3 years old he has cavity because of bottle feed and a small bump with pus in his gums when visited a pediatric dentist he said it is necessary to get root canal treatment but my son is so active and not letting us for the treatment, so doctor suggested to have general anesthesia and do the treatment but we are very scared to do so and also he had febrile seizure 2 years before. Is it necessary to give ga or can I postpone the root canal treatment.
