ASK THEM!: ALWAYS double check and ask questions on how and how much general anesthesia your child will receive for the dental work. Will it be at the hospital or at the office? Is it a general dentist with a dental anesthesiologist? If just a dentist, are they certified in sedation and GA? Also, be sure to mention and repeat if your child has any allergies to anything. good luck!

Anesthesia Consult: A pre-anesthesia consultation is recommended. It serves to educate the patient (parents) and clarify important issues.
