Narcotize dentistry
Modern medications allow you to enter a sleep-like state quickly and easily through sedation dentistry.
WHEN IS DENTAL TREATMENT UNDER ANESTHESIA NECESSARY?
- In cases of dental or oral surgery procedures, or extensive general dental treatments involving large areas.
- For individuals who experience severe gag reflexes and cannot tolerate dental procedures otherwise.
- When the patient is unable to cooperate, has behavioral challenges, or is living with a disability that makes dental care problematic.
- For those who experience anxiety or heightened fear of dental procedures, often due to unpleasant childhood experiences.
- For patients who wish to avoid the circumstances of a typical dental procedure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
- Severe cardiovascular diseases.
- Enzyme disorders (which may cause issues in breaking down anesthetic drugs).
- Respiratory diseases, such as asthma.
- Liver, kidney, or insulin-dependent diabetes (which may require hospital follow-up care).
Even for patients with these conditions, anesthesia can still be performed, but it requires a background of intensive care, making it unsuitable for a dental office setting. A general medical examination, good lab results, and an EKG help minimize the risks of treatment. (These preliminary tests can be arranged through your general practitioner.)
Anesthesia-based procedures can only be performed on patients without severe systemic diseases and who are not under continuous medical treatment.
