15 year old DD needs four teeth removed for braces to be fitted. GA?

[Worried234]

Does anyone know if back molars are extracted under regional or general anaesthesia? My DD is 15 and starts orthodontic treatment in a few weeks. She will have her four 'corner' back molars removed, and then when that has healed, a fixed brace.

She's worried about the extraction. I had the same four teeth out at a similar age, but that was years ago, I'm 45 now so I'm sure procedures have changed.

Does anyone know anything about the procedure, and if a GA can be requested? I have told DD that I suspect not, but just looking for any advice or knowledge.

Thank you.

My dd has absolutely no gaps

In the UK a GA has to be done in a hospital setting

Hasn’t been legal to have a general anaesthetic at a regular dental surgery since 2001 and Poswillo report.
All general anaesthetics are given in hospital which is why , in my area, a child of two with a painful abcess will be waiting over two years for a general anaesthetic to remove the tooth.

Local. They will be done one at a time, not all at once unless they’re heavily decayed and she’s in terrible pain

Qualifications? I expect none.

This post is a year old!

Yes I’m aware it’s very common. I’m looking ahead to 30/40 years time when other teeth may fail and need to be pulled perhaps leaving a lack of teeth.

I had all my wisdom teeth removed before they came through (no problems) and wish I still had them!
