Dental treatment without fear

In peace. Unafraid. In one go.

Treatment under general anesthesia is sometimes the only way to get an important treatment. Especially for more complicated procedures, such as removing multiple wisdom teeth or placing implants with important abutments for your dentition. It often happens here that patients are treated for fear of pain alone (Dentist scared patient) always delay.

Sometimes multiple appointments for a specific treatment (e.g. removal of several wisdom teeth) are stress-intensifying. And also difficult in terms of time: Because this often results in treatment phases over several months, with ever new intervention and healing processes. A treatment en suite (in one pass) under general anesthesia can be a solution here: you wake up and the work is done – healing can begin immediately.

Treatment at your dentist doesn’t always have to be painful! (© contrastwerkstatt – fotolia)

Nobody likes going to the dentist, especially when the treatment requires painful surgery. Fortunately, we do not have to hand ourselves over to the drill without support: anesthesia is a matter of course for major interventions and makes the treatment painless. But stunning is not the same as stunning. We show you which types of anesthesia there are and which methods are particularly useful for dental treatment

General anesthetic costs

When you can expect a reimbursement

Dental treatment with general anesthesia can have many advantages. Some patients are even absolutely dependent on them – for example if they suffer from particular fear of the dentist. The Dentalplus dental practice in Wiesbaden reveals everything you need to know about the costs of general anesthesia.

In which cases the statutory health insurance company supports you

The anesthetist, that is the anesthetist, will invoice you separately for the cost of general anesthesia. The anesthetic costs are therefore not part of the dental treatment costs. The statutory health insurance companies attach certain conditions to whether they pay the dentist for the cost of their general anesthesia. The following patient groups can expect reimbursement:

I don't get an anesthetic injection from the dentist when drilling, is this normal? (Love, health, medicine)

I don’t get an anesthetic injection from the dentist when drilling, that’s normal?

5 answers

Yes, actually that should be normal. There are dentists who give an injection every time they are drilled, but in most cases this is totally unnecessary. Drilling is uncomfortable, but it usually doesn’t hurt. And if it does, then not worse than the anesthetic injection.

I personally prefer it to be a little tricky when drilling than to walk around with an anesthetized mouth for three more hours. I find that much more uncomfortable.

A syringe before drilling is not superfluous, but normal. You don’t run around stunned for three hours, there are also shorter ones. Most want one.
