How safe is it to have general anesthesia in the dental office?
Dental treatment requiring general anesthesia in an office environment poses similar risks to those inherent in any surgical procedure for children and can be made as safe as a general anesthetic delivered in a hospital or surgical center. Modern medicines and technology make the delivery of general anesthesia in an office setting equivalent to the same service in a hospital or surgery center. We feel fortunate that we are able to team together with Washingtons finest anesthesiologist Dr Herbert Kloss.
