General Anesthesia In Pune
Our team consists of skilled pediatric dentists and experienced anesthesia professionals. Together, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to provide the highest standard of care for your child.

Reasons for
general anesthesia In Pune are :
- The child is extremely uncooperative, afraid, or anxious. All other sedation options available at our disposal have been exhausted i.e. Laughing gas; Oral sedation; IV sedation
- Special needs children who are unable to comprehend the instructions given by doctors and need to undergo dental procedures.
- Children and young adolescents who need to undergo complex dental procedures or surgeries.
Unlike adults, children sometimes do not understand why they are undergoing dental treatments. Their innocent minds may get scared easily and they might refuse to cooperate with the dentist, staff, or even their parents. In the case of special needs children, the challenge level rises even higher since their mental health is slightly more delicate, and physically they are fragile. So to ensure the treatment they get is a definitive one and pain-free Dr. Samhita Advani may recommend dental treatment under general anesthesia.
Note: unless and until it is necessary and all other options for treating the child in the office are exhausted, Dr. Samhita Advani would not recommend general anesthesia for your little one.
Will my child be safe during the
General Anesthesia procedure in Pune ???
It is normal to face some doubts and fears when a doctor advises you to undergo general anesthesia In Pune for your little one. Although there are some risks associated with general anesthesia, those risks are rare when we have well-trained anesthesiologists by our side.
The procedure is the same as would have been required, god forbid the little one requires surgery for birth defects; fractures, etc. How one would put the child to sleep in a hospital setup, for dental rehabilitation we do the same and complete all the teeth requiring treatment in a definitive and time-bound manner. Definitive and time-bound are two keywords that will be discussed as we move ahead.
Once you put the child under general anesthesia, no parent would want the procedure to be repeated in the near future for their little one. Hence it’s prudent to be definitive in whatever we plan. Parents should not be myopic and stop only at the deep fillings stage; they should be okay to go one step ahead and cover the tooth 360 degrees i.e. with a crown. The crown could be metal or white depending on what the parents wish for their little one.
At Dr. Tooth’s dental clinic In Pune, we make sure to get in contact with the best hospitals where the procedure will be carried out and Dr. Samhita Advani herself performs all the dental procedures on the kid. All the necessary precautions are taken by the surgeon and the hospital to keep your child safe.
When general anesthesia In Pune is administered, the child is constantly monitored throughout the treatment.
