General Anaesthesia for Dental Treatment

General anaesthesia may be considered in selected situations such as severe dental anxiety, lengthy or extensive procedures, limited ability to cooperate, or specific clinical requirements. It is not automatically suitable for every patient or every procedure. The decision requires assessment by the dentist and anaesthesia clinician, review of medical history and any necessary tests. Treatment must take place in a healthcare setting with appropriate equipment, monitoring and emergency capability. When contacting NatDentist, you can tell us about your concerns and medical history. Suitable options can only be determined after clinical assessment.
