Risks of Multiple Tooth Surgery in Children

It is a common phenomenon for children to have supernumerary teeth. If it has a significant impact on the child's oral cavity, surgical treatment may be required. This surgery may require general anesthesia. As parents, we are quite worried that general anesthesia will harm the child's health. In this regard, we need to go to the hospital for examination in time. Symptomatic treatment can be adopted according to the specific situation. Oral general anesthesia can be used, which is a short-acting anesthetic.

Risks of Multiple Tooth Surgery in Children

I believe that as a parent, you may also have such questions. So let us first have a basic knowledge about what oral general anesthesia is: Oral general anesthesia is a method of treating children's teeth by using a combination of short-acting anesthetic drugs suitable for day surgery, which is used to make the child fall asleep through a combination of intravenous injection and inhalation, while establishing an artificial airway to ensure breathing. Anesthetic drugs act on the central nervous system, temporarily blocking the transmission of pain in a local area. Dental treatment under general anesthesia can make babies forget the bad dental experience and eliminate the psychological trauma.

General anesthesia is suitable for people

1. Preschool children with multiple caries or babies with root canal inflammation who need complex treatment; 2. Children with multiple caries and accompanied by autism, ADHD, mental retardation, etc. The age limit for such patients can be further relaxed and not limited to preschool age. General anesthesia time

On the premise of ensuring the completion of the required treatment, the operation time for children's dental treatment under general anesthesia should be controlled within 3-4 hours as much as possible.

Risks of general anesthesia for children

1. First of all, when treating teeth under oral anesthesia, the dosage of anesthetic used is very small and the side effects are also mild. This method takes effect quickly and has a quick recovery rate. After anesthesia, the child can fall asleep quickly and wake up soon after the treatment is completed.

2. During the entire process of general anesthesia for dental treatment at the New Century Women's and Children's Hospital, a professional team of dentists, nurses, and anesthesiologists will form a team to strictly monitor the dosage of anesthetic drugs, the time of anesthesia, the patient's reaction after anesthesia, etc., to ensure that the oral surgery is carried out without any mistakes.

3. In the dental departments of public tertiary hospitals such as children's hospitals, more and more children are willing to receive general anesthesia treatment. Treating teeth under general anesthesia can not only prevent children from having long-term psychological trauma from dental treatment, but also make the treatment process safer and more efficient. Within the reasonable control range of anesthesia time, multiple cavities can be treated at one time, saving parents time and energy, with many benefits.
