We care for uncooperative children under general anesthesia
Have you ever had an unpleasant experience visiting the dentist? We can take care of all children, not just those who cannot cope with dental treatment at other doctors.
However, we understand that for some patients, a kind word and persuasion are not enough, and a special approach is needed, and sometimes the help of general anesthesia. Some children are too small for other methods of treatment, or the amount of decay and destruction of the teeth is too great.
Some unpleasant dental surgical procedures are also suitable to be performed under general anesthesia.
SPECIAL APPROACH
We know how to treat even children who left their doctor clueless.
How does the whole treatment work?
- We begin with a joint consultation and examination of the child. This is very important so that we have sufficient information about your child and you have sufficient information from us.
- We take an X-ray if possible and if you do not already have one.
- We propose a treatment method (whether general anesthesia is suitable for your child) and prepare a treatment and cost plan. If you agree with our plan, you will schedule an appointment for the procedure itself.
- Children are usually put to sleep using inhalation anesthesia. Throughout the time they inhale the anesthetic gas through a nasal mask and are still conscious, you stay with them. After the induction of anesthesia, you leave and the child remains under the constant supervision of an experienced pediatric anesthesiologist and their nurse for the entire duration of the procedure.
- After the procedure, the child wakes up in the recovery room, and you may stay with them. They rest and are subsequently discharged to home care and a calm regimen under your supervision.
What to think about before treatment?
- Schedule appointments, especially for younger children, at a time of day when you know your child is not usually tired, sleepy, or hungry.
- Also keep in mind the early symptoms of colds and other illnesses that may complicate treatment.
- Simply prepare your child for what to expect and let them know that a doctor will take a look at their teeth. Do not tell them about any unpleasant experiences of your own. We will provide more detailed information during the consultation.
- Allow your child to bring their favorite toy.
- During the examination, stay in the background, but at the same time make sure your child feels your support and presence.
We know that the health and satisfaction of your child is your utmost priority.
Therefore, let us solve any problems as soon as possible and in a comprehensive way.
We help hundreds of children every year and we will make sure you leave our clinic with a smile on your face too.
