General anesthesia is a procedure that should be performed under hospital conditions. The patient is made fully asleep by administering intravenous medications and gas.
With the help of general anesthesia in dental treatments, major operations are performed much more easily in terms of patient comfort.
It can be applied to patients who have dental phobia, nausea reflex, need surgical intervention such as impacted teeth and cysts, have mental and physical disabilities, and want to complete their treatment process in a single session. At the same time, it is not always possible to treat children who cannot communicate in the dentist's chair. In such cases, procedures can be performed all at once under general anesthesia without stressing the patient and family.
The patient who is planned to receive general anesthesia undergoes the necessary check-up by the anesthesiologist 1 day before and it is checked whether there is any problem in receiving anesthesia. If anesthesia is suitable, the dentist performs the treatment and protective applications of all teeth within an average of 1-2 hours during the procedure. Treatment duration may vary depending on the procedures to be performed.
The patient is observed for a few hours after the procedure and is sent home on the same day. It is very important for the patient to attend the follow-up appointments without any delay. In this process, one should eliminate the factors that previously caused oral and dental disorders from his/her life and apply the recommendations given by the dentist along with nutrition and oral hygiene.
