General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). 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 Checked: the fee guide’s Sedation section offers “Oral Sedation (Hypnovel/Midazolam)” only — conscious oral sedation, not the general anaesthesia / deep sedation (patient asleep and unaware) the methodology counts.
