anesthesia dentistry

Dentistry under general anaesthesia is one of our services, which we recommend primarily to patients who are afraid of dental treatment, or who require complex, lengthy procedures. During dentistry under general anaesthesia, the patient sleeps throughout and feels nothing of the treatment. The general anaesthesia is administered by a qualified anaesthetist, who continuously monitors the patient's condition. Any dental treatment can be carried out under general anaesthesia, whether it be a tooth extraction, a filling, root canal treatment, an implant, or oral surgery. The benefits of dentistry under general anaesthesia include:

• Completely painless and comfortable, you will not even feel a needle prick
• Multiple interventions can be performed with one anesthesia
• No memory of the treatment remains
• Safe and professional
• Does not cause anxiety or stress

A comparison of general anaesthesia and conscious sedation

Conscious sedation is a procedure during which the patient is given sedative and painkilling medication intravenously, which brings about a light, anxiety-free state similar to a shallow sleep. During conscious sedation, the patient is able to communicate with the doctor, understands and carries out verbal instructions, and remembers almost nothing of the treatment. The advantage of conscious sedation is that it acts quickly, has no side effects, and is absorbed by the body almost immediately. The disadvantage of conscious sedation is that it is not suitable for every patient; for example, it is not recommended in the case of a respiratory infection, heart attack, or pregnancy.

General anaesthesia is a procedure during which the patient becomes completely unconscious and does not respond to any external stimulus. During general anaesthesia, the patient's vital functions must be continuously monitored, and their breathing and circulation must be maintained using specialist equipment. The advantage of general anaesthesia is that it enables longer, more complex, or more painful procedures to be carried out, and the patient feels nothing and does not remember the treatment. The disadvantage of general anaesthesia is that it poses a greater risk to the patient, and requires more time for preparation and for waking up.

In summary, the difference between conscious sedation and general anaesthesia is that during conscious sedation the patient sleeps shallowly, whereas during general anaesthesia they are completely unconscious. Conscious sedation is less risky and quicker than general anaesthesia, but cannot be used in every case. General anaesthesia makes it possible to carry out more complex procedures, but requires greater care and preparation. A dental practice must take these differences into account when recommending dental treatment under general anaesthesia or conscious sedation to patients.
