Paediatric Dental Care Under General Anaesthesia
Trying to remove the stress and fear in children when undergoing dental treatment is an important aim as it will prevent dental phobia being a significant barrier to having good dental care when the child grows up. Gone are the days when we should routinely “hold down” our children to carry out dental check-ups and treatment.
Behavioural therapy and Anxiolytic Dentistry
Much time needs to be spent in educating our children not to be fearful of dental treatment which is the basis of cognitive behavioural therapy. In addition, anxiety relieving oral sedation options such as chloral hydrate or gas such as nitrous oxide can be used to try to relax patients without full anaesthesia, these options being tailored to the child’s needs and comfort level.
Each procedure is conducted under the strictest safety protocols, with a focus on minimizing discomfort and ensuring comprehensive care during the child’s visit.
Why Choose Paediatric Dental Treatment Under General Anaesthesia?
In spite of the above mentioned therapies, some children experience great anxiety when facing dental procedures, which can prevent them from receiving the necessary care. At Atria City Dental Group, we specialise in providing a fear-free dental experience for children, utilizing general anaesthesia to ensure comfort and safety. General anaesthesia can be used for children who need extensive dental treatment, yet are too young or uncooperative to stay still, or who have had traumatic dental experiences in the past.

Our expert team is here to make dental care a positive experience for your children. General anaesthesia (GA) for children is a medical procedure in which the child is placed in a sleep-like state using medication. Once the medication takes effect, the child will be asleep and unable to feel any discomfort during the procedure. During this time their vital signs are closely monitored by an anaesthetist to ensure safety.
Under general anaesthesia, children can receive various dental treatments — such as stainless steel crowns, fillings, root canal treatments and extractions — in one visit without any stress or discomfort.Our skilled Paediatric dentists and anaesthesiologists work together to create a safe, calm, and controlled environment, focusing on your child’s well-being.
