Introduction to dental treatment for children under general anesthesia

  1.What is the dental treatment for children under general anesthesia?  Children’s dental treatment under general anesthesia is a special technical project for children with dental phobia, underage and mentally handicapped children who are difficult to implement conventional dental treatment in the clinical work of dentistry.  2.Does general anesthesia have any effect on intelligence?  Current research shows that dental treatment under general anesthesia will not adversely affect the patient’s intelligence, but for children under 2 years of age, considering that the demand for treatment and the difficulty is not great, dental treatment under general anesthesia is generally not recommended.  3.Can I keep more teeth under general anesthesia?  There is no difference between the treatment method under general anesthesia and the treatment method under conventional conditions. For those teeth with large hard tissue loss and serious apical lesions, the treatment under general anesthesia will not significantly improve the treatment effect.  4.Can I not worry about the tooth decay again after the general anesthesia treatment?  The dental treatment under general anesthesia is to treat the teeth with decayed pulp and apical lesions, and it is “mending the fold”, and the treatment itself does not have the effect of preventing the recurrence of caries.  5.What discomfort will the child have after the general anesthesia treatment?  In order to ensure the safety of patients, tracheal intubation is required during general anesthesia treatment, which is basically the same as adult general anesthesia surgery. These symptoms usually resolve in a few days after the procedure. In addition, during the resuscitation process of general anesthesia, the child may appear agitated, crying and so on, these conditions can generally subside in 1-2 hours. 6.After general anesthesia, the child’s teeth seem to have discomfort, is this normal?  General anesthesia treatment will concentrate all the planned treatments in one time, and these treatments may take more than ten times to be completed in the regular outpatient clinic, so the reactions of dental treatment are superimposed, and there may be obvious occlusal discomfort, tooth swelling and pain after the general anesthesia treatment.  7.Why did the child’s teeth have braces?  In general anesthesia treatment, doctors often use the “pre-crown” restoration method for large posterior teeth, which is made of stainless steel to restore the shape of the tooth and prevent the tooth and the filling from breaking, and does not affect tooth replacement.  8.What is suitable for dental treatment under general anesthesia?  In deciding whether a child needs to use general anesthesia dental treatment as a specific means of treatment as the child’s parents need to consider the following factors: the child’s ability to cooperate with conventional dental treatment (including the potential for cooperation) can be changed in the short term; the amount of dental treatment required by the child; the parents themselves and the child’s acceptance of general anesthesia treatment or restraint treatment; the child’s general health status; whether there are conventional The child’s general health; whether the child has the conditions for multiple follow-up visits required for conventional treatment, etc. The final decision will be made after the doctor’s examination and discussion after the initial intention.
