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).

- ? General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — Not verified Site (drzaha.com) does not mention sedation or GA; a review mentions sleep apnea treatment (an orthodontic device), unrelated to sedation dentistry.
