When dental treatment while asleep
is the best solution

Treatment under general anesthesia is most often recommended in cases such as:

Safety you can trust
We take anesthesia just as seriously as a major hospital does. Anesthesia is administered using the German Dräger system — one of the global standards in anesthesiology:

Answers to frequently asked questions
How safe is dental treatment while asleep
(under general anesthesia) for children?Dental treatment while asleep (under general anesthesia) for children is carried out according to strict medical standards and is considered safe with proper preparation. Before the procedure, the child is mandatorily examined by an anesthesiologist; if necessary, tests and additional examinations are prescribed. Throughout the entire treatment, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are continuously monitored, and only modern medications approved for pediatric use are administered.
How does the child feel after anesthesia?
After waking up, the child may be a little sleepy, sluggish, or cranky — this is a normal response of the body. Sometimes mild dizziness or nausea may occur, which goes away within a few hours. As a rule, children return to their usual activity the same day, and by the next day they feel completely well.
Who stays with the child while
they are asleep?Throughout the entire treatment, a pediatric anesthesiologist and the medical team stay with the child at all times. They continuously monitor the child’s condition and all vital functions. Parents can stay with their child until anesthesia begins and immediately after the child wakes up.
Is it possible to treat all of a child’s teeth in one session?
In most cases, yes. Treatment under general anesthesia makes it possible to treat all teeth in a single visit, including cavities, pulpitis, and extractions. This is especially convenient for young children or when a large amount of treatment is needed, as it avoids multiple appointments and reduces stress.
How should I prepare my child for dental treatment
under general anesthesia?Preparation includes a consultation with the dentist and the anesthesiologist, as well as completing all prescribed tests and examinations. It’s important to strictly follow the pre-anesthesia eating and drinking instructions (usually no food or drink for several hours before the procedure). Parents should calmly and positively explain to the child that the doctors will help their teeth become healthy, without frightening them with medical details.
