Partnering with Parents for the Best Possible Outcomes
The decision to use general anaesthesia is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the child's overall health, dental needs and ability to cope with treatment. Our specialists will thoroughly discuss this option with parents, explaining the benefits and potential risks.
When general anaesthesia is deemed appropriate, we work closely with specialist anaesthetists highly trained in paediatric care. The procedure is conducted in a hospital environment with advanced monitoring systems and emergency facilities.
We understand that the prospect of general anaesthesia can be concerning for parents. Rest assured, our team prioritises your child's safety and comfort throughout the process, from pre-operative assessment to post-operative care and follow-up.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive dental treatment while minimising stress and discomfort for your child, ensuring the best possible outcomes for their oral health.
