Your child won’t need to be put to sleep! We use conscious sedation

MyoDental provides gentle support for nervous young patients, helping children feel calm, relaxed, and in control.

The dental sedation we use keeps children awake and able to respond throughout, helping them to feel calmer and complete treatment without unnecessary stress.

Want to explore ways to make treatment feel more manageable? Have a chat with our team.

On the day of your appointment, ensure your child wears loose clothing and avoids greasy or oily foods to prevent nausea. Appointments must also be attended by a responsible adult with parental responsibility.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My young son had struggled with other dentists and we had experienced numerous failed attempts to have required treatment completed elsewhere due to his anxieties. Our experience with MyoDental has been incredible. The care taken from all the staff to understand our circumstances, welcome him, make him feel at ease, build trust, etc. has been beyond our hopes and expectations. Michael's ability to communicate clearly during his appointments, address and empathise with my son's concerns, and encourage him to allow the treatment to be completed has been fantastic. Would very highly recommend, especially for any parents who have young children who are anxious of visiting dentists.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Myodental, especially Dr Marshall’s expertise in holistic orthodontics. Our daughter, 11 at the time, had top and bottom overcrowding as well as an impacted canine. We were advised previously to remove 4 healthy teeth before braces, which we were quite reluctant to proceed with.
Luckily, we found Dr Marshall who meticulously put together the best treatment plan for our daughter, including a Schwartz palatal expander (and without any unnecessary teeth extractions). 24 months later - a wide, beautiful, perfect smile. We are extremely happy with the results!
Many thanks to the whole team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was more than happy to travel all the way from Dorset for every appointment for my daughter. When you start doing research into the dental industry, it soon becomes apparent that not all professionals are created equal! I wanted to bring my daughter here because Michael is one of the few who truly takes in the bigger, holistic picture and not just 'straightening' teeth. He understands the importance of airway, bone formation, and over-all health. It was no surprise to me that MyoDental even have people travelling from abroad for Michael's services. Absolute professionalism and 5-star service from the team the whole way. My daughter loved going to her appointments!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delighted - four months on I have straight and tastefully whiter teeth. The process was surprisingly straightforward once you had got used to having the retainers in your mouth. You can see progress almost immediately. And the end result was impressive given that teeth start to meander when you get older. Michael is a delight to work with and his team patient. Their pricing is also transparent so there were no hidden charges which it always appreciated. Many thanks. P.s. my bite in back in the right place for the first time since I was a teenager.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a hygiene appt today with Nicola and she was fantastic. I haven't had teeth so clean, with stains gently removed from coffee etc., in a long time. She was helpful and knowledgeable and took the time and care required to get my teeth in great shape, without causing me discomfort. I rarely think to leave reviews but I was so impressed with Nicola that I was motivated to take the time to do so.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had very bad overcrowding of my teeth, and I visited several clinics across London where everyone wanted to remove two teeth from the bottom to straighten them, which didn’t feel right to me.

When I found Dr. Marshal, he was the only one who suggested expanding the jaw using ALF, with no need to remove any teeth. The whole treatment was excellent. Dr. Marshal was always kind and explained everything in detail. I felt very comfortable throughout all my appointments.

The result is amazing - straight teeth and a beautiful smile.

Thank you, I am very grateful for my smile!
As a bonus, I also have a better jawline.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I popped into MyoDental just to make a general enquiry and not only did I come out with some useful advice, but a hygienist appointment made for me two hours later. Very happy with the appointment and was very appreciative to the staff who didn't mind my fussy baby being in tow! It was a very welcoming practice and I plan to return.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Marshall was amazing fixing my son’s chipped tooth after 3 years and many refusals from others claiming he is too young to have it done. His first reaction was “what, so I can smile again?!” 🥹 Thank you, Dr Marshall for making this happen, your expertise and approachable made this experience a bliss.

The dental sedation process

Inhalation sedation, or “happy air” or “laughing gas,” uses a carefully controlled mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide transmitted through a small nose mask.

Assessment to check if sedation is suitable.
The dentist explains process to both parent and child.
Inhalation sedation given through a small, comfortable mask.
Your child breathes in a carefully controlled mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide.
They remain awake throughout and can still talk or respond.
Treatment is completed while your child feels more settled.
Oxygen is given at the end to help the sedation wear off.
Aftercare advice is provided before leaving the practice.
