\"\"<\/p>\n

Modern methods of local anesthesia allow you to almost completely avoid unpleasant sensations during manipulations of the doctor, so most often the treatment is carried out under local anesthesia.<\/p>\n

But in some cases, treatment under anesthesia is recommended: the patient is immersed in a medically induced sleep and does not feel any sensations during the doctor’s work. Being in a state of half-sleep, the patient does not experience stress, does not feel the vibrations from the instrument, and “wakes up” only after the end of all manipulations. <\/p>\n

Important: treatment under medically induced sleep is performed for specific indications. Only the doctor in consultation can make the final decision to treat under general anesthesia <\/p>\n

When medicated sleep is indicated<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • In the case of very significant workloads, as well as complex complex treatment involving several specialists<\/li>\n
  • For surgical procedures of high complexity<\/li>\n
  • When a patient has an overwhelming fear when dental treatment can cause panic attacks in the patient<\/li>\n
  • In case of intolerance to local anesthetics used in dentistry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Only certified medications with a high safety profile are used in medically induced sleep treatment at City Smile Dental Center. A team of anesthesiologists is mandatory at the appointment, and monitoring equipment is used to monitor the patient’s condition. <\/p>\n

    Preparing for medication-assisted sleep<\/h3>\n

    If you plan to undergo treatment under general anesthesia, you will be referred for the necessary tests, as well as a consultation with a general practitioner and an anesthesiologist. It is extremely important not to eat six hours before the operation and not to drink water for two hours. A few days before the session, you should refrain from drinking alcohol and, preferably, from smoking. <\/p>\n

    Duration of medication-assisted sleep<\/h3>\n

    Depending on the complexity and duration of the planned manipulations, the state of medically induced sleep can last from half an hour to several hours. Waking up occurs a few minutes after the end of the doctors’ work, and after another half an hour to an hour, the patient can already leave the medical center and go home <\/p>\n
