Supporting Children with Dental Anxiety
Dr. Arghavan takes each child’s response to dental care into account when planning treatment. She explains procedures in an age-appropriate way and discusses suitable approaches with parents.
Her clinical expertise includes nitrous oxide–oxygen inhalation for selected patients and dental treatment under general anaesthesia when clinically indicated. These options require an individual assessment of the child’s health, treatment needs and ability to tolerate care, along with appropriate facilities, monitoring and consent.
Parents should discuss the suitability and arrangements for sedation or general anaesthesia with the clinical team before booking treatment.
Languages and Communication
Dr. Arghavan speaks English and Persian. She helps parents understand their child’s dental findings, treatment options and home-care needs, with a focus on prevention and healthy habits as children grow.
