What is general anesthesia?
General anesthesia provides a way of effectively completing dental care while a child is asleep.
Children
with severe anxiety and/or the inability to relax are candidates for
general anesthesia. Usually these children are young or have
compromised health and helping them control their anxiety is not
possible using other methods.
Is General anesthesia safe?
An
experienced health care provider, specifically trained in delivering
general anesthesia, is responsible for the general anesthesia delivery,
monitoring and medical care of the child. Many precautions are
taken to provide safety for the child during general anesthesia care.
Patients are monitored closely during the general anesthesia procedure
by anesthesia personnel who are trained to manage complications.
Dr. Caroline and Dr. Molly will discuss the benefits and risks
involved in general anesthesia if it is recommended for your
child's treatment.
