Some patients cannot be treated comfortably in a normal appointment: very young children with extensive decay, children with special needs, and adults with severe dental phobia or a strong gag reflex.
Because we are a hospital rather than a clinic, sedation and general anaesthesia are available in a properly monitored setting with an anaesthetist, which is the only way this should be done.
Choosing the level of sedation
Nitrous oxide is the lightest option: the child stays awake and responsive, feels relaxed, and recovers within minutes. It suits mild to moderate anxiety and shorter procedures.
IV sedation suits longer adult procedures such as multiple extractions or implant surgery. General anaesthesia is reserved for extensive treatment in very young or special-needs children, and for patients in whom nothing else is workable.
Safety and preparation
Pre-anaesthetic assessment, fasting instructions, full intra-operative monitoring and a supervised recovery period are standard. Nothing about this is done casually.
Parents are given written pre- and post-operative instructions and a direct contact number for the first 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Is general anaesthesia safe for a small child?
In a hospital setting with a qualified anaesthetist and full monitoring, it is safe and routinely performed. The risks are discussed individually at the pre-anaesthetic assessment.
How much dentistry can be done in one session?
Usually all of it — that is the point. Multiple fillings, crowns and extractions are completed in a single visit instead of many distressing appointments.
I am an adult who is terrified of dentists. Can I have this?
Yes. Adult dental phobia is a legitimate indication for sedation and we treat a substantial number of patients this way.
Sedation & Dental Care Under GA in a hospital setting, not a single chair
Most dental care in Jaipur is delivered from single-chair clinics. The difference shows up when a case needs bone work, sedation, inpatient monitoring or a second speciality on the same day.

Who treats you, and what stands behind it
Patients travelling from Jaipur are seen by the specialist whose field the problem sits in — not by whoever is free. Every plan is imaged, written down and costed before treatment begins.

Handles crowns, veneers, full-mouth rehabilitation and implant prosthetics, designed digitally and milled on the in-house CAD/CAM unit for shade and fit accuracy.
Treats painful, previously failed and calcified canals under a dental operating microscope, including retreatment and apical surgery where a tooth is worth saving.
Sterilisation, records and patient-safety protocols independently audited — rare in dentistry.
