Tooth extraction under general anesthesia
Tooth extraction is a procedure that often causes physical and psychological discomfort in patients. Modern dentistry offers many methods that relieve pain during surgery. One of them is tooth root extraction under general anesthesia. General anesthesia is the administration of anesthetic drugs that act to suppress the central nervous system. The patient falls into a deep sleep, his muscles are relaxed, and pain sensitivity is reduced. Anesthesia allows for tooth extraction to be performed as comfortably as possible.

Contraindications
The anesthesiologist at the K+31 clinic does not recommend performing tooth extraction under general anesthesia in Moscow if the following contraindications are present:
- Age over 70. Older people have a higher risk of complications due to chronic diseases
- Cardiovascular diseases. Heart failure, severe forms of arterial hypertension increase the likelihood of complications
- Allergy to anesthetics used for general anesthesia. Allergic reactions may occur, and in some cases, life-threatening conditions
- Diseases in the stage of decompensation. Diabetes mellitus or hypertension increase the risk of complications during and after anesthesia
- Exacerbation of lung and bronchial diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma make breathing difficult during general anesthesia
If the patient received the vaccine less than a week ago, he is temporarily contraindicated to have a tooth extracted under general anesthesia due to reduced immunity and a high probability of developing adverse reactions.
Pros and cons of different types of anesthesia for dental treatment
When choosing anesthesia, the dentist considers different types of anesthesia. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
| Type of anesthesia | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Local anesthesia | Safety, the patient remains conscious | Limited pain relief, possible discomfort from injections |
| Xenon sedation | Fast action and elimination from the body, patient relaxation | Does not have an analgesic effect, local anesthesia is required |
| Intravenous sedation | Deep relaxation, ability to respond to commands | Potential risks to the body, requires monitoring |
| General anesthesia | Complete anesthesia for long procedures | High risks, long recovery |
Local anesthesia is suitable for dental fillings. Xenon sedation is recommended for patients with severe anxiety, as it helps to relax and reduce stress. Intravenous sedation is suitable for longer and more painful procedures, such as complex oral sanitation. General anesthesia is necessary when performing multiple tooth extractions or bone surgery, where complete immobility and absence of pain in the patient is required.
