Preparation for dental treatment under anesthesia
In addition to the fact that you need to pass tests and get a certificate from the therapist that there are no contraindications, parents are advised to collect as much information as possible about the dentistry where children's teeth are being treated under anesthesia. It is important to understand how professional a children's dentist is.
After the decision is made, the doctor selects a certain scheme of anesthesia, which involves taking certain drugs: sedatives, pain relievers, anti-allergens and others. The procedure is usually prescribed in the morning, and the child should not eat or drink a few hours before it begins. Introduction to the state of artificial sleep can be carried out intravenously or by inhalation. Most often, the baby falls asleep in the arms of one of the parents. Then they are treated by an anesthesiologist, who constantly monitors the condition, and a dentist, who performs all the necessary manipulations. The duration of treatment depends on the complexity and volume of work, but as a rule, the doctor needs no more than 40 minutes to complete the procedure.
How does a child recover from anesthesia after dental treatment
So that the child does not get scared after waking up from anesthesia, mom or dad must be invited to the office. In most cases, young patients quickly withdraw from the administered drugs. Some feel a little excitement, others, on the contrary, inhibition, and still others have a slight nausea, which passes very quickly. For a couple of hours, the child should be under the supervision of a doctor, and then go home calmly.
Possible consequences of narcosis
When children's teeth are treated under anesthesia by high-class specialists, the risk of any complications is practically completely excluded. However, no one can give a 100% guarantee. Side effects after general anesthesia can appear in the form of:
Nausea and vomiting;
Dizziness and headache;
Hysterical reactions;
Visual and auditory hallucinations.
In the most severe cases, the child may stop breathing or heartbeat.
How many times can teeth be treated under anesthesia?
If high-quality drugs are used for anesthesia, they can be used in the treatment of children's teeth as much as necessary, but only if the child does not have complications and serious side reactions. The components of anesthesia are removed from the body naturally quite quickly and do not harm the young body.
