What is General Anaesthesia in Dentistry?

General anaesthesia (GA) allows a child to remain completely asleep throughout dental treatment. It is recommended only in carefully selected cases where comprehensive dental care cannot be safely or comfortably completed using conventional behaviour guidance or other techniques.

At The Little Smiles, Dr. Pratima Goswami carefully evaluates each child and recommends treatment under general anaesthesia only when it is clinically appropriate. Procedures are performed in a properly equipped hospital or surgical facility under the supervision of qualified anaesthesia professionals.
