Hello!
Perhaps my question will sound a little strange, but I would like to know the following. My upper second premolar was left open for some time (my filling fell out), and when I came to the dentist she gave me two injections for pain, but it still hurt far too much (before that I had no pain at all). Now I do not know whether she does not know how to give injections or whether the problem is with me (I have a very strong fear of the dentist). I would like to know whether there is any possibility of having fillings done under general anaesthesia (the dentist says that fillings on four teeth should be repaired). If this can be done, is it possible with a referral (free of charge), or does treatment under general anaesthesia have to be paid for? If it has to be paid for, could you please at least give me an approximate price?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Treatment under general anaesthesia is certainly reserved for the most severe cases of treating patients who would otherwise be unable to cooperate during procedures. Extreme fear could also be considered one of these reasons, but I recommend that you try the conventional approach once more. Treatment under local anaesthesia is virtually painless. Root canal treatment requires several stages and is therefore impossible to perform under the conditions of general anaesthesia.
Have a nice day!
