General Anesthesia for Children in Cibolo, TX

General anesthesia is typically recommended for:

• Extensive Dental Work: When multiple procedures are needed in one visit, such as multiple fillings, extractions, or crowns.
• Severe Dental Anxiety: For children who are extremely fearful or anxious about dental visits.
• Special Needs Patients: For children with special healthcare needs who may not tolerate dental procedures under local anesthesia or conscious sedation.
• Young Children: When very young children require extensive dental work that cannot be completed with lighter sedation methods.

Before the Procedure

• Pre-Anesthesia Instructions: Our team will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare your child for general anesthesia, including fasting requirements.
• Medical Evaluation: A thorough medical evaluation will be conducted to ensure your child is a suitable candidate for general anesthesia.

During the Procedure

• Administration: General anesthesia will be administered by a licensed anesthesiologist who will closely monitor your child’s vital signs throughout the procedure.
• Deep Sleep: Your child will be in a deep, controlled sleep, ensuring they are unaware and comfortable during the dental treatment.
• Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels to ensure safety.

After the Procedure

• Recovery: Your child will be moved to a recovery area where they will be monitored until they wake up from the anesthesia.
• Post-Procedure Care: Detailed instructions will be provided for post-procedure care, including guidelines on eating, drinking, and activity restrictions for the rest of the day.
• Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
