Dental Treatment
The second visit is for dental treatment under general anesthesia.
On the day of surgery the patient will be greeted by our receptionist who will go over the instructions for the day. The dentist and anesthesiologist will meet with the patient to discuss the dental treatment plan and to answer any questions about general anesthesia. The patient will then be escorted to the operating room where fluids and electrolytes will be given through an intravenous (through the vein) line. The anesthesiologist will then administer an anesthetic.
Once the patient is asleep, comprehensive oral rehabilitation takes place. It consists of a thorough examination, full mouth x-rays, cleaning, fluoride application, an assessment of the patient’s oral health and many other dental services depending on the needs of the patient.
Following dental treatment, patients are awakened and transferred to recovery where our nursing staff provides one-on-one care until the patient is able to return home. The dentist and anesthesiologist will also be available to answer any questions following dental treatment.
In most cases, we are able to complete the patient’s dental treatment in one visit. Most visits will last 1-3 hours. Additional visits may be needed if the patient requires a significant amount of dentistry. |
