Treatment Under General Anaesthesia

Although our methods for overcoming dental phobia are effective, there are still many patients who, for varying reasons, would rather not be aware of anything during treatment. This is where general anaesthesia comes into use.
A general anaesthetic invokes an artificial deep sleep, where all senses are deactivated. The anaesthetist controls the depth of anaesthesia and watches over the vital functions such as heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. This makes treatment under general anaesthetic today a safe alternative even for older patients and those suffering from illness. Thanks to the use of modern anaesthetic agents, the after-effects previously associated with this method, such as nausea and dizziness, are no longer a problem. Normally, the patient is allowed home around one hour after treatment.
