General anaesthesia at the dentist in Berlin

With general anaesthesia you sleep through the treatment. An anaesthesia team often bills separately. Here are the practices and what we know.

Implant pain

“The implant treatment was so painful that I stopped after one tooth.”

What helped

Then I tried laughing gas. The pain was much less than I expected. After treatment my body used to be really tense and my muscles ached, but this time that didn't happen at all.

Sensitive to sounds and smells

“I was very unsure and wanted to talk everything through calmly first. That was exactly right for me.”

What helped

Sedation helped me experience the treatment much more calmly and relaxed. The sounds and smells used to really get to me.

What's the difference? →
Laughing gas
You breathe it in through a nose mask, stay awake and responsive, but feel calmer. It wears off within a few minutes.
Sedation
A sedative, usually given into a vein. You are very relaxed and often barely remember the treatment. You'll need someone to take you home afterwards.
General anaesthesia
You are fully asleep while an anaesthesia team monitors you. For bigger procedures or very strong anxiety. There is a briefing beforehand.

General information, not medical advice. The practice will work out with you which method suits you. Public health insurance usually doesn't cover laughing gas or anaesthesia for adults.
