can tooth be extracted by giving general anasthesia in special cases ?

Question

If a patient is schizo ,epileptic or psycho-patient who cannot bear slightest pain

Answer 1

i dont think so no

Answer 2

Local anasthesia will take away all the pain. Just make sure he gives you a good dose, and then if you even start to feel the slightest pain, have his stop and give you a booster. I find that about 1/2 hour into the extraction, I need to get a little more of the shot. No pain involved

Answer 3

Yes of course! Many Oral Surgeons will put you to sleep for extractions. Some general dentists will provide that same service for any type of routine dental work. Oral Surgeons, Dental Anesthesiologists and some General Dentists are trained to do sedation. There are different types of General Anesthesia (usually what people refer to as being put to sleep - not like for pets!!) Most do a type of anesthesia referred to as Conscious Sedation, where you are pretty much asleep, but you are still in control of your own breathing and can be readily awoken if need be. Deeper forms of sedation will depress your breathing mechanisms and would require intubation so that you can still breath. Ask your dentist to refer you to someone (usually an Oral Surgeon) and call their office and tell them your needs! The only thing that would prevent them being able to do this is if you happen to have any underlying medical conditions that whould contraindicate the use of General Anesthesia - usually these are limited!

Answer 4

general or local anesthesia is all we ever give. Normally you go in, get a shot or two in the area of the tooth that needs to come out, and that it. Oral surgons can do extractions where they totally put you out.

Answer 5

Sure. That's who it's for. Your oral surgeon MAY want to manage you in the hospital operating room if you have several "medical issues," though, where there would be more staff to watch over you.

Answer 6

in those cases.. anasthesia is a big problem actually.. it's not recommended.
