Comments on: What is the name of the procedure where dentists knock you out completely? http://www.bizequityblog.com/dentists/what-is-the-name-of-the-procedure-where-dentists-knock-you-out-completely Great Tooth Whitening Systems Tue, 04 May 2010 11:58:59 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: smartone http://www.bizequityblog.com/dentists/what-is-the-name-of-the-procedure-where-dentists-knock-you-out-completely/comment-page-1#comment-2715 smartone Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:20:59 +0000 http://www.bizequityblog.com/dentists/what-is-the-name-of-the-procedure-where-dentists-knock-you-out-completely#comment-2715 You are referring to general anesthesia. A lot of insurances will cover this IF IT IS PROVEN to be medically necessary. If the services being done along with it are not enough to warrant the anesthesia, then a letter of medical necessity explaining the need for this could be considered. Keep in mind, insurances do NOT consider anxiety or fear of dentistry to be medically necessary. In some cases where local anesthetic is not effective (infection etc) then it is deemed medically necessary to use general anesthesia. Your best bet would be to call your insurance company and see what your plan covers for this and what criteria must be met.<br><b>References : </b><br> You are referring to general anesthesia.

If you are unconscious they have to prop your mouth open and will leave you with bruises, a sore throat and a headache. With the new drills and Novocaine a dentist usually does not hut that much and a tranquilizer will take away the fear.<br><b>References : </b><br> Try tranquilizers first unless it is for wisdom tooth extraction.

They will use nitrous oxide which is laughing gas or the 24 hour pill which kind of puts you out for 24 hours look for a sedation dentistry in your area. Insurance ..most cover 80% after the deductible for extractions,etc..but they normally have a max they will pay per year. hope this helps! ♥.<br><b>References : </b><br>my own personal experience i also worked in the health and medical dental / field for over 25 years.Insurance specialist supervisor...

THIS IS MOST OFTEN DONE WITH INTRAVENOUS DRUGS. THE ALTERNATIVE IS ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION WHERE YOU'RE NOT PUT TO SLEEP BUT ARE ABLE TO UP WITH THE DENTAL WORK.<br><b>References : </b><br> IF THIS PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED GENERAL DENTIST, THEN IT’S KNOWN AS UNCONSCIOUS SEDATION.

It's done in a hospital because it is classed as an operation. As for insurance you will have to speak to them. The whole procedure took about 40 mins and then I had to stay in hospital for a couple hours to make sure I was OK. Definitely well worth it. I'm terrified of the needles that they have to give you. Knock me out cold I say. I didn't wake up with a headache at all either.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have just had this done to have 2 teeth removed.

You'd have to contact your insurance company to see if they cover this. For minor procedures such as these, I imagine they wouldn't. I too was very frightened; but once you are there the hardest part is over it seems like... Just remember to breath....close your eyes and try to relax. If it's a good dentist and there is a good assistant there to help you then it really isn't so bad. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> That would be general anesthesia.
