Comfort and tranquillity for anxious children
“Sedation or anaesthesia do not just mean sleeping: they are medical tools that give confidence to the child and tranquillity to the parents.”
Dra. Cecília Miranda
Sedation and General Anaesthesia
Sedation and general anaesthesia are resources indicated in cases of children with high anxiety, low cooperation or the need for extensive dental treatments.
These techniques promote greater tranquillity, absolute comfort and safety in procedures that could cause fear or resistance.
Sedation and General Anaesthesia at GSC Dental Clinic
At Gambelas Smile Clinic, conscious sedation is carried out in a controlled and safe environment, with specialised medical supervision.
When indicated, we use general anaesthesia, so that even the most complex cases are treated with serenity and effectiveness.
The clinical decision is always shared with the parents, with an explanation of the benefits, risks and necessary care before and after
More than a medical technique, sedation is a way of giving the child a positive experience, reinforcing confidence.
