Children Under General Anesthesia

Children Under General Anesthesia

For some children, dental treatment in the chair simply is not possible – because of very young age, extensive treatment needs, severe anxiety, special healthcare needs, or previous distressing experiences. In these situations, dental treatment under general anesthesia allows all necessary work to be completed safely, comfortably and in a single session while the child is fully asleep.

The procedure is carried out with a qualified anesthesia team, after a thorough pre-anesthetic evaluation of your child’s health. Fillings, crowns, pulp treatments and extractions can all be completed in one sitting, and the child wakes with the treatment finished – with no memory of the procedure. Parents receive detailed guidance for preparation beforehand and care at home afterwards.

What this service includes

•  Detailed pre-treatment dental and medical evaluation
•  Pre-anesthetic assessment by a qualified anesthesia team
•  All required treatment completed in a single session
•  Continuous monitoring throughout the procedure
•  Supervised recovery before your child goes home
•  Clear pre- and post-procedure instructions and follow-up

Who is it for?

Very young children with extensive decay, children with special healthcare needs, extremely anxious or uncooperative children, and those needing a large amount of treatment that cannot reasonably be done over multiple chair-side visits.
