Are dentists actually allowed to put patients to sleep?

FueledByAisling

Just a wondering out of curiosity as one of my back teeth hurts when I clench my jaw and I think I may need a root canal as I already have a filling in that one. Problem is anaesthetics don't work on me, when ever I go to the dentist, I always need to get at least 2 extra as I still feel the pain.

For someone who suffers from anxiety, panic attacks and has also passed out from the extent of fear while getting a nose cauterization do you think I would be able to be put to sleep for the procedure?

No Dentists who carry out treatment under general anaesthetic work with an anesthetist. Generally this is for children or surgical dentistry. Look into dentists that use sedation, much better, safer, more comfortable, quicker to recover and doesn't cost 2000 euro a pop.

res ipsa

Dentists are allowed to put patients to sleep but only if they tuck them in; read them a story & give them a cup of cocoa first.
