General Anesthesia

General anesthesia is sometimes necessary for children that are unable, by either age or maturity level, to cooperate during dental treatment. Dr. Zeylikman believes that general anesthesia is always safest in the operating room/surgical center under the supervision of top Pediatric physicians.

General Anesthesia is most helpful for:

  • Infants
  • Children who require major treatment
  • An extremely anxious child
  • Children who are medically compromised or have special needs.
