General Anesthesia for Children
General Anesthesia (GA) involves fully sedating your child, usually through an intravenous injection, to perform more complex dental procedures. At Langley Children’s Dentist, we conduct all GA procedures at an accredited surgical center.
Our doctors may recommend general anesthesia for your child if they:
- Cannot relax enough for treatment to be safely performed
- Require oral surgery that may be difficult to tolerate while awake
- Need extensive dental procedures that are best done in a single appointment
- Have a disability that limits their ability to understand directions
If your child is eligible for general anesthesia, you will receive detailed information about any restrictions and the procedure. We are committed to ensuring your child’s safety and comfort throughout the process.
