We have regular general anaesthetic sessions at Baringa Private Hospital. These are mainly used for young children who simply can’t cope in the dental chair or have an extensive amount of work that would take many visits to the dentist to manage. In these circumstances, our goal is to get the child back to good oral health in one go and then start a preventive and confidence-building programme so that the child can hopefully cope with any future treatment in the dental chair. Older teens may also need to have a GA for some surgical interventions such as wisdom tooth removal.
