Anesthesia is the use of medications to numb sensations or induce sleep during dental procedures. Local anesthesia is commonly used to numb a specific area, while general anesthesia may be necessary for more complex or invasive treatments. Anesthesia ensures patient comfort and pain control during dental procedures, allowing for effective treatment without discomfort. Dentists carefully consider the patient’s medical history, overall health, and individual needs before determining the appropriate type of anesthesia to use.
