Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital diseases in children, and it shows a great influence on the safety of general anesthesia. Perioperative management of pediatric patients with CHD are much more difficult than normal pediatric patients. After literature review, the objective of this article is to provide an updated review on current preoperative risk evaluation of pediatric patients with CHD coming for pediatric dentistry. The results of the literature review show that perioperative risk of children with CHD is related to the type and severity of CHD. Symptoms, physical signs, laboratory examinations, advice from cardiovascular specialists, must be comprehensively considered before dental treatment.
