About ADAG and its founder, Dr Walid Aly

What ADAG does
The Australian Dental Anaesthetic Group (ADAG) provides anaesthesia and sedation for dental treatment arranged with dental practices in Victoria. A dental practice that wants some of its patients treated under sedation or general anaesthesia arranges a session; the dentistry stays with the practice, and the anaesthetic care is provided through ADAG.
ADAG is not a dental practice and does not provide dental treatment. It does not take emergency calls: in an emergency, call 000.
How a session is set up is described step by step in arranging a session, and the practical detail for reception and chairside staff is in information for practice teams.
