Contact UsWhat is Hospital General Anesthesia?
Hospital general anesthesia is a technique used to put a patient into a deep sleep during dental procedures. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who are unable to undergo treatment in a traditional dental setting due to severe anxiety, special needs, or extensive dental work requirements.
Benefits of Hospital General Anesthesia
- Complete Comfort: The patient is completely asleep and unaware of the procedure, eliminating fear and anxiety.
- Safety: Performed in a hospital setting with experienced anesthesiologists and dental professionals.
- Efficiency: Allows for comprehensive dental treatment to be completed in one visit, reducing the need for multiple appointments.
- Special Needs Care: Ideal for patients with special needs who might find it challenging to stay still or tolerate dental procedures.
