    recently my friends son (9 years age) got root canal treatment and had general anesthesia. I cannot relate both the treatments, but talk to doctor , and also how is your daughter ready for it, is she brave or nervous. not able to give good advise but just trying to give options.

    How is your child reacting at the dentist? My 6 yo had to get a cavity filling but we managed without medication. I told him that he will get a toy afterwards, the dentist was good, explained what she is doing and took brakes. The meds are fine if that is the only way to get it don.

    Not sure what you meant with "nonsense"?
