Abstract
Aim: To explore the decisional needs of young patients faced with the choice of dental treatment with either sedation or general anaesthetic (GA). Design: Twelve qualitative interviews were conducted with patients, aged 10-16 yr (n=12), who had prior experience of dental treatment with sedation or GA,together with their parents/ guardians (n=13). Results: A number of themes were identified as being important in the decision-making process including:the method of administration; waiting and treatment times; perceived side effects and risks; treatment type; control and communication, and the long term impact of sedation or GA. Conclusion: The decision to undergo dental treatment with sedation or GA is a complex healthcare decision and warrants additional decisional support for both patients and their parents/ guardians.
