General Anaesthesia Dentistry

Dental treatment involving fillings and simple tooth removal can often be carried out using local anaesthesia (injections). However, for some children, especially the very young ones, they may be very anxious or afraid. They have difficulty in controlling movements or remaining still throughout a chairside procedure. Hence, a general anaesthetic may be the only option. This places the child in a state of temporary unconsciousness which keeps them from being alert or moving during the procedure. And the wonder is, they will not even remember a thing after they woke up!
