Tips for anaesthesia at the paediatric dentist

If your child requires dental treatment, anaesthesia can be an excellent option to ensure safety and comfort. Here are the key facts, questions, and answers regarding anaesthesia at the paediatric dentist.

Anaesthesia at the paediatric dentist?

Anaesthesia at the paediatric dentist is a procedure where your child is put into a sleep-like state to undergo dental treatment. Suppose anaesthesia is necessary for a dental procedure. In that case, we take the little patient to the Regensburg industrial park in the north of the city, where the anaesthesia is administered and monitored by an experienced anaesthetist.

Advantages of anaesthesia at the paediatric dentist

Anaesthesia offers several advantages, both for your child and the dentist. Especially for anxious children, anaesthesia during major procedures prevents trauma and subsequent fear if further treatments are needed later on. Your child will not feel any pain during the treatment as they are in a deep sleep. Younger patients often fear dental treatments. Anaesthesia helps to reduce these fears and stress. Additionally, treatments under anaesthesia are usually more efficient since the treating dentist can perform the procedure while the child is calm and relaxed. In many cases, anaesthesia allows for more comprehensive treatment as all necessary procedures can be performed in one session.
