Use of general anesthesia to accomplish the necessary treatment. Nitrous oxide gas for pain control. Use of physical restraint or restraining devices to safely accomplish the necessary dental procedures.

I further authorize the doctor to perform other dental service(s) that in her judgement are advisable for my child or legal ward.
