General anaesthesia: The administration of local anesthesia, sedation and general anesthesia is an integral daily part of dental practice. General Anaesthesia is rarely used because IV sedation has a broad indication and is extremely safe. Also GA is not recommended for routine dental work (e.g. fillings, scaling). Proper pain control and anesthesia are essential for successful dental surgery.

If you require: general anesthesia it will be like for any other surgery, you will have monitors placed, have an IV to allow the medication to put you to sleep, an artificial airway for protection and better ventilation. You will awaken drowsy and require someone to drive you home.
