Indications for dental anesthesia.

The need for general anesthesia management in the dental office applies to a variety of patient types. They are essentially ASA class I or class II risks with a diversity of treatment needs from the simple extraction of a deciduous tooth to multiple treatment procedures. The training, skill, and experience of the provider of anesthesia as well as the adequacy of the facilities will determine the choice of management and ultimately the nature of total patient care.
