General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Oral conscious sedation (a pill) only; no IV sedation or general anaesthesia on any page of the site (2026-10-16). [balboa-dentistry-sedation] [balboa-dentistry-deepen-34]
