If you have spontaneous head, neck or jaw jerks, will you need general anesthesia for dental cleanings?

No: You need a dentist who is gentle and takes his time. Muscle relaxants or benzodiazepens may help.

Not required: In adults general anesthesia is not required for dental cleaning, only in children mentally challenged persons it is required.

Dental cleanings : General anesthesia should not be necessary in your case.

Unlikely: Talk to your dentist, but this is not usually indicated. If needed your dentist can get you a sedative.
