Hospital Dentistry involves providing specialized dental care within a hospital setting, often for patients with complex medical conditions.

This field addresses dental needs for those undergoing treatments like organ transplants, cancer therapy, or major surgeries, as well as those with disabilities, severe anxiety, or severe illnesses that cannot be safely performed in a traditional dental office. Hospital dentists collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to manage oral health as part of comprehensive patient care, ensuring safe and effective treatment for individuals with unique medical challenges.

Most dental treatment in this setting is completed under General Anesthesia with an Anesthesiologist in the Operating Room.
