Can the dentist put you to sleep?

My old dentist never did, those big meanies! And I am horrified of the dentist and next week, I have to get a crown put back on and two filling replaced and maybe some other stuff. Do all dentists put you to sleep? All major ones anyway if you ask? And can I get a white crown instead of those horrid silver ones with o much extra cost?

Responses:

In Australia dentist do not have permission to put you to sleep, you have to go to hospital and have someone to make sure your pulse is right and you're breathing ok
you probably will not get put to sleep
I hate the dentist! My dentist gives me nitrous. I fall asleep every time. Does it right in the office
They doh't put you to sleep. They give you like roofies so you do not remember when you wake up
The oral surgeon can put you asleep. Why do not you ask your dentist about the white crown?
they can give you something to help you relax. also you can get the other. cost have went up so im not sure of the price. call around and get some quotes
You do not say if you are in the US or UK, so I will answer for US. Yes, a trained dentist CAN administer general anesthetic, but make sure they are certified. There are some general dentists who have a licensed anesthesiologist come into the office to administer the anesthesia and monitor the patient while the dentist does the work. For filling and a crown, being asleep is overboard. Oral sedation would be a far better choice and way less expensive. Ask about getting a drug such as Halcion. In the US, crowns are either porcelain, porcelain fused to precious metal so the metal doesn't show, or all gold. Unless it is a child with a primary tooth, stainless steel crowns are not usually done
they can give you a to sedate you and use nitrious oxide or laughing gas, which rules. it costs a little extra for white crowns
If you want to be put under for a procedure, you have to go to a hospital because that requires an anesthetologist. A dentist cannot do it. Most fillings are now done with the white ceramic, you can ask your dentist about it
