General Anesthesia

Anesthesia Pediatric Dentist, Warren MIGeneral anesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that eliminates awareness, movement and discomfort during dental treatment. A physician or dentist with specialized training can use various medications to provide general anesthesia for patients receiving dental care.

General anesthesia may be indicated for children with extensive dental needs who are fearful, anxious, or unable to cooperate. General anesthesia can also be helpful for children requiring significant surgical procedures or patients with special health care needs.  

Although there is some risk associated with general anesthesia, it can be used safely and effectively when administered by an appropriately-trained individual in an appropriately equipped facility. Precautions are taken to protect your child during general anesthesia; personnel who are trained to manage complications will monitor your child closely. Your Pediatric Dentist will discuss the benefits and risks of general anesthesia and why it is recommended for your child.

A physical evaluation is required prior to general anesthesia for dental care. This physical assessment provides information to ensure the safety of your child during the general anesthesia procedure. Our Pediatric Dentist or general anesthesia provider will advise you about evaluation appointments that are required.

Parents are instructed to report to our office any illness that occurs prior to the general anesthesia appointment. It may be necessary to reschedule the appointment. It is very important to follow instructions regarding fasting from fluids and foods prior to the appointment. Your child will be discharged when stable, alert, and ready to depart. Patients often are tired following general anesthesia. You will be instructed to let the child rest at home with minimal activity until the next day. Post-operative dietary recommendations also will be given.

Our office provides this service at the Children Hospital of Michigan, Detroit for selected cases upon Pediatric Dentist’s discretion.
