What to Expect After General Anaesthesia
Recovery Time
After waking up, you’ll spend some time in our recovery area until you are fully awake and alert. It may take a few hours to shake off the grogginess, so plan to take the rest of the day off to rest.
Post- Procedure Care
We recommend that a friend or family member drive you home, as you won’t be able to operate a vehicle safely after general anaesthesia. You may experience mild side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, or a dry mouth, which usually resolve within a few hours. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on the procedure you’ve had.
Safety and Monitoring
We prioritize your safety. Our anaesthesia team uses advanced monitoring equipment and follows strict protocols to ensure that your experience with general anaesthesia is smooth and worry-free.
