Our clinic provides dental treatment under general anaesthesia for patients with disabilities aged 5 and over and for children aged 5–7 who cannot cooperate with treatment in the dental chair. Treatment is day-case; patients are discharged on the same day after a short period of observation.
Patients are first evaluated by the dentist of the relevant clinic; the operation date is scheduled after the pre-anaesthesia evaluation and necessary tests are completed.
For treatment under general anaesthesia, first book an examination appointment with the Paedodontics or relevant clinic via MHRS (182, www.mhrs.gov.tr).
