At the outset, it’s important to note that local anesthesia is the preferred choice for dental treatments, rather than general anesthesia. Local anesthesia involves numbing the area to be operated on with drugs, injections, gels or sprays, and is preferred by dentists as long as it is possible for the patient. While general anesthesia is not known to have any harmful effects on health, it is a longer and more uncomfortable process for patients to recover from and get rid of the anesthesia’s effects. However, if a patient has a serious dental phobia and requires dental intervention, a dentist may consult an anesthesiologist.

At AkvaDent, we offer general anesthesia as an option for difficult oral and dental operations, particularly for patients who fear dentists. Our anesthesia services are provided by experienced anesthesiology specialists and do not have any known side effects that may adversely affect health.
