%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
General anesthesia may be recommended for your child for several reasons. Most commonly, general anesthesia is recommended when a child is very young, very fearful, uncooperative, or has special circumstances that will not allow them to cooperate for needed treatment. Treatment under general anesthesia in a hospital setting may also be required for a child with special needs that require collaboration with other medical specialists and an overnight stay at the hospital. It is our goal to provide safe, excellent care, and to provide a non-traumatic experience for our patients.
How long does it take for my child to recover after a procedure?
The recovery time after your child’s procedure will depend on the specific treatment received and your child's unique needs. Your child’s dentist will provide you and the medical team with detailed postoperative instructions to ensure that your child recovers as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Is it safe for my child to receive dental treatment under sedation or general anesthesia?
Yes. Your child’s dentist is specially trained to provide safe and effective sedation options for children. They will carefully evaluate your child's medical history and other risk factors before determining the appropriate level of sedation for the procedure.
