Many children cry when they see a doctor in a white coat, want them to grow up and give the doctor a filling? In the clinic, we see many children’s tooth decay is not a single occurrence, usually the mouth is full of cavities when we see them, but isn’t it true that children can’t be seen because they are crying? Of course not! The more you delay the dental disease, the more serious it becomes. When the child’s teeth are painful and gums are inflamed, it is too late, which not only affects the function, but also is very unfavorable to the growth of new teeth. In our hospital, dental caries treatment under general anesthesia does not require hospitalization, but only requires the completion of the relevant examination before the surgery, and after judging that general anesthesia can be administered, the caries can be treated in the outpatient operating room. Usually, the operation time is 2-4 hours, and after the operation, you can leave the hospital and go home after 3-4 hours of observation. Moreover, the child will not have the painful experience of forced treatment and will not have dental phobia when he/she grows up. Usually it is recommended for children with more than 8 caries to have the treatment under general anesthesia, which can reduce the number of your follow-up visits and the painful experience of your child, of course, you still have to brush your teeth carefully for regular review after the treatment is finished.
