Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, King's College Hospital developed a collaborative approach between Paediatric Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) to treat pediatric patients with dental pain effectively, despite limited access to general anaesthetic.
- During the lockdown from March to June, 420 calls were triaged, resulting in 67 patients seen face-to-face; 41% were treated under local anaesthetic, while only 13% required general anaesthetic.
- The study showcases that the majority of pediatric patients could be treated successfully without general anaesthetic, highlighting the benefits of collaboration in patient care during challenging times like lockdowns.
