How do we put a child under general anesthesia?
What are the advantages of general anesthesia?
- The child will not be traumatized The greatest advantage of putting a child to sleep while getting their dental work done is that they will not be traumatized by the extent of their dental work.
- Medication helps the child Some of the medications that are used actually help the child forget all about what happened during the treatment.
