General Anaesthesia for Children’s Dental Treatment at Parkway Clinic
General Anaesthesia for Children’s Dental Treatment at Parkway Clinic.
At Parkway Clinic, we understand that some children may experience significant dental anxiety or require complex procedures that are difficult to perform with local anaesthesia alone. In these cases, general anaesthesia may be the most suitable option.
What is General Anaesthesia?
General anaesthesia is a medically induced state of deep sleep that allows for pain-free dental procedures.
During general anaesthesia, your child will be completely unaware of their surroundings and feel no pain.
A qualified anaesthetist will carefully monitor your child’s vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety and comfort. This includes monitoring their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and oxygen levels.
When is General Anaesthesia Recommended?
General anaesthesia may be considered for children who:
- Have a severe fear of dental procedures.
- Require extensive dental treatment.
- Have medical conditions that make local anaesthesia difficult or unsafe.
The Benefits of General Anaesthesia
- Pain-free treatment: Your child will experience no discomfort during the procedure.
- Reduced anxiety: General anaesthesia can help children overcome dental anxiety.
- Efficient treatment: Complex procedures can often be completed in a single visit under general anaesthesia.
Safety and Care
At Parkway Clinic, we prioritise your child’s safety and well-being. Our experienced anaesthetist will carefully assess your child’s health before the procedure and monitor them throughout.
We also follow strict safety protocols to minimise any risks associated with general anaesthesia.
Preparing for General Anaesthesia
Preparing for general anaesthesia involves following specific instructions to ensure your child’s safety and comfort. Before the appointment, you will receive detailed guidelines on how to prepare your child, which may include:
- Fasting: Your child may need to fast for a certain period before the procedure to avoid the risk of aspiration.
- Medication: You may be advised to avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners, before the procedure.
- Clothing: Your child should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
- Valuables: It is best to leave valuables at home, as they may be lost or damaged during the procedure.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure your child’s smooth and safe experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s dentist or the anaesthetist.
Recovery
After the procedure, your child will be monitored in a recovery room until they are fully awake and stable. Recovery time may vary depending on the type and length of the procedure.
If you believe that general anaesthesia may be the best option for your child’s dental treatment, please discuss it with our paediatric dentist. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
