Providing Calm, Safe and Specialist Care for Annerley Kids
At GDS, we know that dental visits can sometimes feel challenging for children, especially when treatment takes longer or involves more complex care. Our focus is on making every visit calm, comfortable, and positive. That’s why we offer gentle children’s sedation options to help young patients feel relaxed and secure throughout their appointment.
For families in Annerley and nearby Brisbane suburbs, our clinic offers something unique. Many general dental practices refer children to external paediatric specialists for sedation, but at GDS, your child can receive the same level of expert care right here. Dr Thia, who is specially trained in paediatric and sedation dentistry, provides treatment on-site in a familiar and supportive setting (without the stress or added cost of external referrals).
Helping kids build confident smiles
When children feel anxious or need more extensive dental work, sedation can make a big difference. It reduces discomfort, eases nerves, and creates a more positive experience overall. Sedation can be particularly helpful for children who:
Feel nervous or fearful during dental visits
Find it hard to stay calm or still for longer procedures
Need several treatments completed in one appointment
Have a sensitive gag reflex or lower pain tolerance
Before any sedation, we carefully assess each child to ensure safety, comfort, and suitability. Our goal is to make dental care a smoother, more confident experience (for both children and parents).

Sedation Options at GDS
Nitrous Oxide Sedation Available On-Site
Greenslopes Dental Studio provides nitrous oxide sedation (commonly known as “happy gas”) for children in Annerley who need extra help feeling calm during dental treatment. This mild sedation technique helps your child stay awake and cooperative while remaining relaxed and comfortable.
How it works:
Your child gently breathes in a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a soft nosepiece. Within minutes, they feel lighter, calmer, and less aware of what’s happening around them. Once the gas is stopped, the effects wear off quickly, and most children can return to normal activities soon after their visit.
Why parents in Annerley choose on-site sedation:
Specialist-led care by Dr Thia, trained in paediatric and sedation dentistry
No need for referrals to outside specialists
Familiar, trusted clinic environment for your child
Safe, closely monitored sedation with fast recovery
More treatment completed in fewer visits
