Dental Treatments / General anaesthesia: treatment without anguish and pain

section_component

We offer you the option of having complex dental treatments carried out under general anaesthesia or sedation. We have been working with an experienced team of anaesthetists for many years. Surgeries are performed in a specially equipped operating room, and you will be in a sleep-like state during the treatment. After the procedure, we will look after you until you wake up from the anaesthesia and can leave the practice again.

Without anguish through treatment with general anaesthesia

Treatment under general anaesthetic or sedation is particularly suitable for anxious children or people with disabilities. However, before you decide on general anaesthesia or sedation, we will go through all the details. Your dentists in Regensburg will be happy to advise you on this!

FAQ about general anaesthesia

The dentist will conduct a detailed consultation with the patient, answer any questions, explain the procedure and conduct necessary preliminary examinations to rule out possible risks. Patients are put into a sleep-like state during the treatment so they do not feel any fear or pain during the procedure. Below we answer frequently asked questions on the subject of general anaesthesia.

What is general anaesthesia at the dentist?

General anaesthesia, or general sedation, is when the patient is put into a sleep-like state through medication and does not notice or feel anything during the entire dental procedure.

When is general anaesthesia necessary at the dentist?

General anaesthesia is necessary for very anxious patients or for extensive dental procedures, for patients with specific health conditions, or when multiple procedures need to be performed in one session.

How does a patient prepare for general anaesthesia?

Before general anaesthesia, you should be fasting, meaning you should not eat or drink for several hours before the procedure. Additionally, you should discuss all medications and health issues with the anaesthesiologist before the procedure.

What is the procedure for general anaesthesia at the dentist?

Before the procedure, you will be given a sedative. The anaesthetic is administered intravenously or through inhalation, putting you into deep sleep. An anaesthesiologist monitors your vital functions throughout the procedure.

Is general anaesthesia at the dentist safe?

Yes. General anaesthesia is safe when performed and monitored by an experienced anaesthesiologist. Modern anaesthesia techniques and monitoring devices minimise the risk of complications before and during the procedure.

What are the risks of general anaesthesia?

As with any anaesthesia, there are risks. These can include allergic reactions, airway problems, or cardiovascular complications. The anaesthesiologist will inform you about specific risks and take appropriate precautions.

How long is the recovery time after general anaesthesia?

Recovery time varies for each person, but most patients are awake and responsive within a few hours after anaesthesia. However, it can take up to 24 hours for the effects of the anaesthesia to wear off, and you can go home.

Can you drive home yourself after general anaesthesia?

No. You should not drive or use public transportation after general anaesthesia. It is best to arrange for someone to take you home and stay with you for the first few hours after the procedure.

Does health insurance cover general anaesthesia?

Health insurance coverage depends on individual insurance conditions and the medical necessity of general anaesthesia. It is advisable to clarify this with your insurance company in advance.

What should you consider after general anaesthesia?

After general anaesthesia, you should rest. Additionally, drink plenty of fluids and eat light meals. Avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
