Paediatric Dental Procedures

For some children, awake dental treatment is simply not realistic — because of age, anxiety, special needs, the extent of work required, or all of the above. Forcing the issue rarely ends well, and often leaves a lasting fear of dentistry. 3AI Care offers a kinder alternative: a single, gentle visit under general anaesthesia, with all of your child’s dental work completed while they are comfortably asleep.For some children, awake dental treatment is simply not realistic — because of age, anxiety, special needs, the extent of work required, or all of the above.

Family-centred from the first phone call

Parents are part of the team here. You will be involved in the consent process, walked through what to expect, given a child-friendly explanation to share at home, and welcomed into the recovery area as soon as your child is awake. We know this is a big day for the whole family, and we plan it accordingly.

What we treat

• Multiple fillings or stainless-steel crowns in a single visit.
• Extractions of decayed, retained or supernumerary teeth.
• Pulpotomies and pulp therapy.
• Treatment of dental trauma.
• Frenectomies for tongue and lip ties.
• Comprehensive treatment for children with special needs or sensory sensitivities.

Safe paediatric anaesthesia

Our anaesthetists are experienced in paediatric ambulatory anaesthesia. We use age-appropriate techniques, child-sized equipment, warming, distraction and parental presence at induction where appropriate. The aim is to make the day feel as ordinary as possible — and the wake-up as gentle as possible.

Helping the day go well

Practical preparation matters. We will send you a child-friendly preparation guide, fasting instructions tailored to your child’s age, and a checklist of comfort items to bring along. On the day, expect a quiet, unhurried environment with team members who are very used to children — and to the parents who love them.
