Anaesthesia for children

Why anaesthesia may be necessary

When a procedure on the teeth is needed, whether a filling, a tooth extraction or a root treatment, a local anaesthetic can greatly increase your child's comfort. Especially with longer or more complex treatments, anaesthesia helps to avoid pain and makes the procedure more pleasant.

Sometimes it is also the stress children associate with pain that makes anaesthesia sensible. With the pain relieved, your child can experience the dental visit in a more relaxed way.

How does anaesthesia for children work?

In our dental practice in Gelsenkirchen we use modern, child-friendly anaesthesia methods that are individually matched to your child's age and state of health:

• Local anaesthetic: we numb only the affected area, so your child feels nothing during the treatment.
• Nitrous oxide sedation: for an even more relaxing treatment, we offer the option of nitrous oxide sedation. Your child is gently brought into a state of relaxation, entirely without fear and without pain.
• General anaesthesia: in rare cases, for especially complex procedures or when other options are not sufficient, general anaesthesia may be considered. Of course we explain all the details and risks to you thoroughly.
