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.
