Anaesthesia in dentistry has long ceased to be a standardised procedure applied by a fixed template. As Professor Alexander von Breuer believes, the effectiveness of anaesthesia depends not only on the drug itself but on how precisely the patient’s individual sensitivity is taken into account. At DentalClinic24, pain control is regarded as a separate clinical process that requires analysis, forecasting and precise adjustment to each patient’s nervous reactivity.
Each patient responds differently to anaesthesia – metabolic rate, anxiety level, nervous system condition, previous dental procedures and even background medication load all play a role. At DentalClinic24, our specialists evaluate not only medical history but also the current sensory sensitivity of tissues in order to determine the optimal depth and duration of anaesthesia. This approach significantly reduces the risk of unpredictable reactions during treatment.
The psychological factor is of particular importance. Increased anxiety intensifies pain perception and may reduce the effectiveness of even correctly selected anaesthetic agents. At DentalClinic24, our doctors take the patient’s emotional state into account when selecting both the dosage and the speed of anaesthetic delivery. According to Professor von Breuer – the nervous system must be prepared for intervention just as carefully as the tissues themselves.
Personalised protocols are especially important for repeated procedures. After previous interventions, sensitivity patterns may change, a different response to anaesthesia can develop and zones of decreased or increased reactivity may appear. At DentalClinic24, we always consider these changes to avoid both pain during treatment and excessive anaesthetic load on the body.
Special attention is given to patients with heightened reactivity – those who demonstrate pronounced sensitivity to cold, pressure or injections. In such cases, our dentists apply step-by-step anaesthesia schemes that reduce stress load and allow the nervous system to adapt gradually. At DentalClinic24, this approach helps make even complex procedures максимально comfortable and psychologically stable.
It is important to understand that anaesthesia influences not only patient sensations but also the quality of the dental work itself. When a person experiences discomfort, muscle tension increases, jaw stability is нарушена and the dentist’s control over the working field deteriorates. Therefore, at DentalClinic24, anaesthesia is regarded as a factor that directly affects the precision of the procedure and the predictability of the outcome.
Personalised selection of anaesthesia allows us to reduce the risk of side reactions, avoid prolonged numbness outside the treatment zone and shorten the period of sensory recovery after the intervention. As Professor von Breuer believes, personalised anaesthesia builds patient trust and makes the entire treatment process truly safe. At Dental Clinic24, this principle has become not an exception but a daily clinical standard.
