Local Anesthetics Allergies in Children

Local anesthetics are used to block nerve impulses and temporarily eliminate sensitivity during dental procedures, thus reducing the patient's stress and anxiety.

Allergic reactions can be serious (anaphylaxis), even putting the patient's life at risk, but they can also present dizziness, nausea, hives, itching, angioedema.

Management of general and local anesthesia and sedation in pediatric dentistry

The dentist must determine the type of anesthesia to be used in dental treatment in a pediatric patient. The use of anesthesia aims to reduce the patient's stress and anxiety.

In complex cases it is advisable to use general anesthesia or conscious sedation, after adequate preparation of the child to avoid risks during the dental procedure.

Pharmacological management of the behavior of the pediatric patient: Nitrous Oxide and General Anesthesia

When pediatric patients attend their dental appointment, it can create a feeling of fear and stress that influences their behavior during the procedure. There are two types of behavior management: pharmacological and non-pharmacological.

When non-pharmacological behavior management techniques have been tried without results, we can use pharmacological methods: conscious sedation and general anesthesia.

Local anesthesia calculations: How to avoid overdose and toxicity in pediatric patients?

It is important to know the physiology and anatomy of the child when administering local anesthetics in a pediatric dentistry intervention. Overdose in pediatric dentistry occurs when the dosage of anesthetics is not handled correctly.

Local anesthetic systemic toxicity is a consequence of overdose, it is rare but usually occurs in children. This event is avoidable if all safety measures are taken.

Pediatric Anesthesia in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

We start by saying that an adult patient is not the same as a pediatric patient. The anatomy and physiology are completely different, and these values must be taken into account when planning a surgical treatment.

The use of anesthesia reduces stress and anxiety during surgical procedures, but it is important to know how to handle the formulas to calculate the dose in pediatric patients.
