MyoKids Dental in Surrey offers paediatric-led dental sedation options for anxious and phobic children who need more complex care or have additional medical, sensory or neurodivergent needs in a dedicated children’s setting.
Our Surrey dental practice brings together three things parents should look for when choosing sedation dentistry for children: paediatric experience, sedation expertise and a child-focused environment.
While many dental practices in Surrey can be kind to children, few combine a dedicated, colourful children’s floor with toys, an experienced paediatric dentist, and an IACSD-accredited sedation provider with consultant-level anaesthesia experience.
For children who are too anxious for treatment, cannot sit still, have strong gag reflexes or have additional medical or neurodivergent needs, MyoKids Dental is a reassuring first choice for safe sedation pathways.
In most cases, children do not need to be put to sleep. We use conscious or inhalation sedation, which keeps your child awake but relaxed and responsive throughout. The sedation helps them feel calmer, more relaxed and more settled, without the fear, panic or trauma that sometimes comes with dental treatment.
For children over 6, we can use inhalation sedation (happy air or laughing gas), which involves a carefully controlled mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide, breathed in through a small, comfortable nose mask. This method helps children to feel relaxed, floaty and slightly drowsy. They can still talk, respond and follow simple instructions.
For older children (13+), intravenous (IV) sedation can be used for specific complex procedures, which involves placing a small needle in the vein to deeply relax suitable teens. They will remain awake, relaxed and fully able to respond to questions or instructions. They will generally feel sleepy and might not remember the procedure.
While some children need gentle reassurance to get through treatment, others may need a little more help. We offer:

Sedation may be suitable if your child needs several fillings, feels very anxious or cannot manage treatment comfortably without extra support.
