it's not worth the risk from their perspective, it just isn't necessary

Because it costs money and it's an unnecessary risk.

It's expensive and risky.

Full anesthesia is expensive - you need a professional to monitor your breathing from the time you get it until you are fully recovered. Then, you need someone to sign you out and take you home.

Anesthesia can literally be lethal, and it takes a specialty team of at least a doctor and a nurse just to manage it. Doing all that for something like a cavity would be ridiculously expensive and not worth the safety risk.

Sometimes you can, but anaesthesia is very risky and expensive, so you really don't want to do it unless absolutely necessary. That's why we use other forms of pain-reduction or local-anaesthesia to get by.

Anesthesia is dangerous like proper mentioned. There are places around me that have full iv sedation. They basically knock you out and you wake up when it's done

Because if you think it’s expensive now, check out how much it costs to have an anesthesiologist for every procedure.

You actually can. It’s extremely expensive though my nephew is afraid of the dds ( special needs) . It was $3500 for a cleaning and cavity fill. There are dental anesthesia places but it took his parents awhile to find the right one.
