Hi, My daughter is 2.9 years old and she has a swelling on her lips and I think this is because of her dental problems in front upper teeth. We had consalted dentist and they suggested for pulpectomy so now we are planning for pulpectomy with general anesthesia and then do this procedure. is it ok to give general anesthesia to 2.9 years old kid?
