The clinic is led by two certified anesthesiologists who, through their experience at the Montreal Children's Hospital and their skills, provide your child with the safest environment for dental care under anesthesia.
A team of certified anesthesiologists with expertise in pediatric anesthesia collaborates with the leaders to ensure quality care.
Pediatric respiratory therapists, members of the Ordre des inhalothérapeutes du Québec (OPIQ), assist our anesthesiologists in their functions in the operating room.
Once your child’s procedure is completed, the care from the operating will be transferred to a team of pediatric registered nurses, members of the Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ). From your child’s arrival in the recovery, a member of the team will be at the bedside to provide care and comfort to both the family and the child.
From the moment of admission until the moment of discharge, we will focus on a family-centered approach, ensuring quality and continuity of care until every patient is ready to go home.
