Are there different kinds of anesthetics?

Question:

I had a hole that was made. As usual, I was stunning. After an hour I became dizzy and nauseated, it may be the anesthesia? Is it possible to get other anesthetics? I still have a lame area where anesthesia was established (it is 3 days ago) is this normal?

Jette

Answer:

Dear Jette,

Yes! It varies how we react to anesthesia. Next time you're at the dentist, so you may want a different kind of anesthesia than the one you got last

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Should anesthesia does not eliminate the pain?

Question:

Hi ..

I've been at the dentist to drill two holes for the first time today. I have never been drilled before, and therefore it was also the first time I was stunned.
I do not feel the anesthesia worked when I could feel almost anything, and it did really really bad, got chills, shaking very much - was simply the worst I've ever tried. My question is whether you think the anesthesia worked? Is not it supposed not to be able to feel anything?

I was pretty stressed afterwards, and found it difficult to talk while I was also quite shocked, so should just go home - that's why I had not talked to my dentist about it. But think it's a little hard to pay 500 kroner for the stunning, when you do not feel it has worked ..

Sincerely. Anne Camilla.

Answer:

Dear Anne Camilla,

If you had pain during treatment, your anesthesia is not working as it should. Of course it is supposed to be a pain experience to come to the dentist. I think you should have a talk with your dentist. Sometimes it can have an effect on anxiety anesthesia.

Patient Insurance convicted of utterances about drug

Dental Association's Patient Insurance has today been sentenced to pay CMS Dental 2.5 million. million in damages.

The judgment has fallen in a case concerning an article in Dentistry magazine from 2005. The article advised the President of the Dental Association's Patient Insurance dentists to be careful when they used 4% articaine with bedøvelser in the lower jaw.

The judgment does not clarify whether there is a greater risk of using articaine than using other anesthetic agents for anesthesia in the mandible.

Dental Association's Patient Insurance takes note of the judgment.

President of the Dental Association's Patient Insurance, Dental Jahn Legarth, said:

- When I was invited to write article for Tandlægebladet had previously been written in the magazine on articaine. Pharmaceutical Insurance Association was informed, and thus there was also passed information to the Medicines Authority, which is responsible for drug safety. I do not know what I would have done if I had known beforehand that the article would lead to a lawsuit that has had great personal cost to me.

Dental Association President Susanne Andersen says:

- The judgment includes some scary prospects. It will be important for us, medical associations and other health organizations. We are concerned that the High Court's judgment will be seen as a restriction of free speech in the health care debate about possible adverse effects of drugs. The judgment does not change that it is the individual dentist's duty to advise his patients as possible and report adverse reactions to the Medicines Agency.

Dental Association's Patient Insurance has not yet ruled on whether the judgment should be appealed.

Dental Association and the Dental Patient Insurance Association has no further comments to the judgment.

What is anesthesia?

Question:

What is anesthesia?

Allan

Answer:

Dear Allan,

The word anesthesia has its origin from the Greek word narcosis, which means stunning. The scientific word for anesthesia is anesthesia, which also comes from a Greek word anaisthesia, meaning "no sense". Anaesthesiology is the study of anesthetic clay use. And doctors who have completed basic training and internships, may subsequently specialize in anesthesiology, a duration of 4 ½ years.

There are many forms of anesthesia. You can anesthetize locally delbedøvelse, which means that the patient is conscious, and only a part of the body is anesthetized. This experience, most of the dentist when the dentist numbs only a part of the mouth.

Another option is what we call general anesthetic or a general anesthetic, which means that the patient is unconscious during surgery. At a general anesthetic, the patient injected sleeping pills into a vein and then the patient within a very short time to fall asleep. A general anesthetic may also be given through a mask to the face, where the patient gets a bedøvegas.

General anesthetic for dental treatment can be given to virtually all patients, excluding patients with some specific chronic conditions such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and in severe obesity.

There is often some risks and side effects of anesthesia, and the most common side effects are nausea and vomiting. Therefore, the patient must always fasting before anesthesia. The drugs you use today has reduced the extent of nausea and vomiting significantly, so that this only happens rarely.

In rare cases occurring deaths related to anesthesia, but then the reason most often be a combination of surgery, anesthesia and the patient's health condition. Statistically speaking, when you do not take into account the patient's health, and the action type, the overall mortality up to six days after stunning approx. 1 in 10,000. Have not other diseases, and not to undergo a major surgery, the risk is considerably less. Risks of an intervention by the dentist can for example be compared with the risks of open heart surgery.

Hope you can use my answer.

Problems getting the anesthetic to work

Question:

Now I have the last several times at the dentist where I was stunned experienced that my body starts shaking inside, gets palpitations and feel tired and heavy.
They can never really stun me where I must, of course maybe after 2 - 3 - 4 attempts, then I'll really bad. My dentist says it has nothing to do with the anesthesia. The last few times is it going really wrong (like myself)
Previous time was all over my face stunned, my lip and my eye was hanging, I could not blink and really just do not feel half of my head.

Now here last time, I thought otherwise it was just there, but slowly lost feeling in my throat and finally I could not swallow.
When I almost flew out of his chair and tried to explain to my dentist that he laughed a little and said that it was not it stunning guilt .... Øhhh reach ...
In a half hour, I went and spat because I 't ku sink (the times I tried smoking it wrong and had to cough and pick it up again)

I may sound quite squeamish, but think I can stand up to much.
Now I stand here so soon and should have performed a root canal, but honestly .... Have little desire to fear what happens next.

So maybe my question is whether there are other options than local anesthesia?
Is it possible I can not tolerate it or what is it happening?

My dentist has a pretty good reputation, and many of my friends goes to the dentist there.

Greetings Jeannie.

Answer:

Dear Jeannie,

Talk to your dentist about the possible. using nitrous oxide. Sometimes when anesthesia does not work, it may have something to do with nervousness, take any. 2 panodiler before going to the dentist can help you calm down. It may also be due to infection of the area, making it difficult to stun the tooth.
It is very common that you feel a little heavy in the area where you will be stunned, but it is rather difficult to answer specifically to your problem.

Regarding palpitations, it is because adrenaline is in anesthesia, it is not dangerous. Ask the dentist next time if you can get anesthesia without adrenaline, it may be you will have less discomfort from it.

Hope you can use my answer.

Dentist Joan Olsen
