General Anesthesia

What is

General Anesthesia ?

General anesthesia in dentistry is a medically induced state of controlled unconsciousness used during complex or lengthy dental procedures, ensuring the patient feels no pain and has no awareness throughout the treatment. It is often applied in cases such as multiple tooth extractions, impacted wisdom teeth removal, extensive oral surgeries, or for patients with severe dental anxiety or special needs.

During dental general anesthesia, anesthetic drugs are administered intravenously or through inhalation, while the patient’s vital signs, including heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure, are closely monitored by a dental anesthesiologist. This approach allows dentists to perform treatments safely and efficiently, minimizing pain, stress, and discomfort for the patient, and ensuring a smooth and controlled procedure.
