Sedation & GA

We understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for children, especially when more complex treatments are required. That’s why our specialist paediatric dental team, led by the highly experienced Dr. Mohsin Chaudhary, offers tailored solutions to ensure your child receives the care they need in a calm, supportive environment. For particularly anxious patients or those requiring more invasive treatment, we provide inhalation sedation at our practice or general anaesthetic services at Nuffield Hospital or a London hospital settling.

Caring for Anxious Young Patients

Children can feel apprehensive about dental treatment for various reasons, including unfamiliar environments, previous negative experiences, or fear of pain. Our team is dedicated to creating a positive and reassuring experience for every child, combining gentle communication and advanced techniques to ease their concerns.

For children experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, inhalation sedation is an excellent option. Also known as “laughing gas,” this safe and effective method involves your child inhaling a mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a small, comfortable mask.

  • Benefits of Inhalation Sedation:
    • Quickly induces a sense of calm and relaxation.
    • Allows children to remain awake and responsive during treatment.
    • Wears off quickly, enabling your child to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.

Inhalation sedation is suitable for a variety of dental treatments, providing a stress-free experience while maintaining optimal safety.

For children who require extensive or invasive dental procedures, or those with severe dental anxiety, treatment under general anaesthetic may be recommended. Dr Mohsin Chaudhary works closely with local and London hospitals to perform these treatments, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety.

  • Why Choose General Anaesthetic?
    • Ideal for complex treatments, such as extractions or restorative procedures.
    • Ensures the child is completely asleep and unaware of the procedure, eliminating stress and discomfort.
    • Allows multiple treatments to be completed in a single session, reducing the need for repeated visits.

Dr. Chaudhary’s expertise ensures that your child receives comprehensive care, with every detail of the procedure carefully planned and communicated to parents for peace of mind.
