Can you be put under general anesthesia for dental work?

At Children’s Dentistry of Northborough, we understand that for some children, treatment under general anesthesia may be their only option and path to care. So, we absolutely offer general sedation to ensure our young patients get the dental care they deserve.

About General Anesthesia for Dental Procedures

General anesthesia is a way to make dental care more accessible for children with anxiety or special needs. It is also ideal for lengthy procedures, invasive dental procedures, or children with a strong gag reflex.

Of course, we take a health history to ensure this level of sedation is safe for your child, and we monitor them closely throughout treatment.

Sedation may take place in our dental office or at the hospital, depending on specific factors. In either case, an experienced anesthesiologist will oversee their dental sedation, which they will not remember at all. There will be no anxiety or lingering unrest!
