Some children find dental treatments overwhelming, whether because of fear, anxiety, or medical and behavioral challenges that make cooperation difficult. At Dr. Mustafa Abdalla’s clinic, we offer General Anesthesia for Kids, a safe and fully supervised method that allows your child to sleep comfortably while receiving complete dental care in one visit.

General anesthesia helps your child rest in a calm, pain-free sleep so treatment can be completed without stress or fear. It is performed by a licensed anesthesiologist while Dr. Mustafa focuses entirely on your child’s comfort and care.

Choosing the right dentist for your child means trusting someone who combines medical precision with deep empathy.

General anesthesia can be a very good option for children who struggle with traditional dental visits. It helps turn a stressful experience into a calm one, allowing your child to sleep comfortably while the dentist completes all the needed treatments in one visit.

It is especially useful in situations such as:

• Fear or anxiety about dental treatment, making it difficult to relax in the chair
• The need for multiple procedures, making it hard to sit through several separate appointments
• Young age, which makes it difficult to stay still or follow instructions for long periods
• Medical or developmental conditions that make traditional dental care challenging or overwhelming

❓How should I prepare my child before the procedure?

🗣Your child should come with an empty stomach, wearing comfortable clothes. We will provide exact eating and drinking instructions based on the scheduled time.

❓Will I be allowed to stay with my child before the procedure begins?

🗣Yes, parents can stay with their child before anesthesia starts to help them feel calm and supported.

❓What kind of monitoring equipment is used during anesthesia?

🗣We use hospital-grade systems to continuously monitor heart rate, oxygen level, and breathing throughout the procedure.

❓How long does it take for my child to fully recover afterward?

🗣Most children are awake within minutes after treatment and fully alert within a few hours. Some may need a nap later in the day.

❓Are there any side effects after anesthesia?

🗣Minor drowsiness or slight nausea can occur but usually fades quickly. We give you full instructions for care and hydration.

❓How soon can my child return to normal activities?

🗣Most children return to their regular routine the next day. We advise avoiding heavy play or sports for 24 hours.
