The purpose of this report was to detail clinical considerations and a general anesthetic approach for a 3-year-old pediatric dental patient with epidermolysis bullosa, a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by blister development following minor trauma or traction to the skin or mucosal surfaces. Challenges in providing comprehensive dental treatment and care under general anesthesia are discussed. Early evaluation is vital to preventing the consequences of severe early childhood caries.
