  1. WHAT TO EXPECT DURING DENTAL ANESTHESIA: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

  2. PRE-PROCEDURE CONSULTATION Before your dental procedure, you will have a pre-procedure consultation with your dentist or an anesthesiologist. During this consultation, your dental team will review your medical history, including any medications, allergies, or previous adverse reactions to anesthesia. They will also explain the different anesthesia options available to you based on the complexity and duration of your procedure.

  3. SELECTION OF ANESTHESIA Based on your consultation, your dental team will recommend a suitable anesthesia option. There are typically three types of anesthesia used in dental procedures: local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and general anesthesia.

  4. PRE-ANESTHESIA INSTRUCTIONS Your dental team will provide you with specific instructions to follow before your anesthesia appointment. These instructions may include fasting for a certain period before the procedure, avoiding certain medications that could interact with the anesthesia, or arranging for transportation after the procedure if you are receiving general anesthesia.

  5. ADMINISTRATION OF ANESTHESIA On the day of your dental procedure, your dentist or an anesthesiologist will administer the agreed-upon anesthesia. For local anesthesia, this involves injecting the anesthetic near the treatment area. The injection may cause a momentary sting or pinch, but it is generally well-tolerated.
