I remember when my brother and I were small and my mom took us to the dentist. My brother got to the point where he would not even get in the car to go and was scared to death of the "seatbelts" or "straps" as he called them, in the car. My mom could not understand why all of a sudden my 5 year old brother was terrified of seatbelts. Turns out they had been strapping him down with black belts of some sort as the dentist and my mom had no idea because she was not allowed in the room. Needless to say, she didn't take us there anymore.
While I can understand that parents might hinder the process while being in the room, I don't think as a soon to be parent I would ever consent to having my child anestisized at the dentist.
