Dental narcosis in children

Very often , general anesthesia (narcosis) is necessary when treating children. In this event, they should be prepared for the procedure, explaining in a simple way what will happen to them, and by honest answering their questions. It is important that the baby does not get scared and feel safely in the hands of a doctor. You can also ask to conduct the same interview yourself with a specialist – to overcome the anxiety or stress of a toddler.

If the child has had an unpleasant experience of visiting the office before at a dentist, you should explain to him that this time it will be different, because he will fall asleep first in patent’s shoulders, and when he wakes up, the teeth will be fully healed. So he/she will not be afraid nor get any pain.
