- Brief Summary
Most dental treatment should be carried out in the dental operatory under local anesthesia (LA). General anesthesia (GA) is used as an advanced type of behavior management technique to give quality dental care to children who are otherwise unable to endure dental treatment in an outpatient environment. Despite the widespread use of general anesthesia in pediatric dentistry, there are no established recommendations for using local anesthetics during these operations, except for the AAPD guidelines which simply mention that there is a postoperative pain reduction after administration of local anesthesia.
