Sir, there is no such thing as dental general anaesthesia (DGA).¹ As someone on the Dental Register who worked with and provided GA for dental care and also assisted with GA for a number of other procedures from 1975 until it was unilaterally banned by a predecessor of yours I can state this with confidence. General anaesthesia is a patient management technique used to provide a surgeon (usually) with a body to work on. It is the surgeon who limits the area of operation; the anaesthetist supplies an entire person.

To promote the concept of dental GA is inaccurate, erroneous and implies that DGA differs from GA. It doesn't.
