Preparations required prior to treatments under general anesthesia
Firstly, we perform a thorough clinical examination. Following the examination, we construct a treatment plan that includes all of the patient’s dental needs. Secondly, we refer the patient to undergo medical examinations such as blood tests, EKG, and other test required by the patient’s condition. After receiving the results of all of these tests, the anesthesiologist examines the patient as well, and determines guidelines together with the dentist. In certain situations, this step requires the changing of medications, the dosage of medications, taking preventative antibiotics, and so on.
During the treatment under general anesthesia
Dental treatments under general anesthesia are performed by multiple teams simultaneously: the anesthesiologist’s team which is comprised of operation room nurses, the anesthesiologist, and a team of dentists and dentist’s assistants who are certified in performing the treatment under general anesthesia.
Dental treatments under general anesthesia allow performing all necessary surgical procedures simultaneously: Dental plaque removal, root canal treatment, sinus lift, implants, extractions, and any other surgical dental treatments needed. This method is less costly in time, money and pain.
