- Significant and extensive dental treatment can be performed in one visit to the dentist. During one visit, you can perform several procedures at once and solve a large number of problems

Types of anesthesia
In the process of dental therapy under anesthesia in children, several methods are used for analgesia (pain relief). Traditionally, deep and oxygen sedation are used, as well as local and general anesthesia.
The drug Sevoflurane is usually used in the process. It is used when general anesthesia is required (during treatment during sleep). This effective inhalation anesthetic is characterized by a high level of safety. Propofol is used for intravenous anesthesia - this drug provides deep sedation.
The choice of anesthesia method is carried out taking into account the patient's age, medical indications and the scope of upcoming dental procedures.
The methods of administering the drug before dental therapy under anesthesia for children in Moscow are as follows:
- Application anesthesia For the purpose of local blockade ("freezing") of nerve endings, an anesthetic is applied to the gums
- Injection anesthesia The anesthetic is administered through a cartridge syringe with a very thin needle
- Children's mask Used to inhale anesthetic gas or nitrogen mixture

How quickly will the child wake up from general anesthesia?
The time to wake up from general anesthesia depends on the duration of the procedure and the drug used. Usually, this happens within 20-60 minutes.
Are there any possible complications during treatment under anesthesia?
Possible complications include allergic reactions to drugs and short-term cognitive impairment.
How to prepare a child for the procedure?

What are the alternatives to treatment under general anesthesia?

After the surgery, it is recommended to limit physical activity for 24 hours and ensure the child gets enough fluids.
What precautions should be taken after the procedure?
After dental surgery under general anesthesia, the following precautions should be taken:

- Avoid vigorous physical exercise and play on the first day after the procedure
- Maintain oral hygiene (avoid intense tooth brushing in the treated area for the first few days)
It is also necessary to regularly take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications prescribed by the doctor.
How to monitor a child's condition after anesthesia?
During the first few hours after the procedure, it is necessary to monitor the child's breathing, skin color, and behavior. The following signs are considered dangerous:
- Difficulty breathing
- Paleness or bluish skin color
- Unusual behavior
- Excessive sleepiness
If these symptoms appear, you should seek medical help as soon as possible.
What to do if the child feels pain after the procedure?
If the child experiences tooth pain after a dental procedure, give them an analgesic recommended by the doctor.
Can children with a dry cough undergo anesthesia?
The answer from a K+31 clinic doctor: “If a child has episodes of dry cough but no other symptoms (fever, runny nose, inflamed mucous membranes, or a red throat), anesthesia can be performed without delay. However, before making a final decision, the doctor will conduct a complete examination of the child. This helps to exclude the risk of possible complications associated with anesthesia in the context of a dry cough. Special attention is paid to auscultation of the lungs (listening).”
