Find Expert Care for Your Child’s Surgical Needs

Get Gentle Tooth Extractions

While every effort is made to preserve natural teeth, there are times when dental surgery is the best course of action for your child’s long-term oral health.

If a tooth is severely decayed, damaged from trauma, or causing crowding, removing it can help prevent future complications and promote healthy development. Extractions are also sometimes performed to prepare for orthodontic treatment.

Our skilled team provides a gentle, comforting approach, ensuring young patients feel safe and relaxed throughout their surgical procedure. Using child-friendly techniques and sedation options, we prioritize comfort at every step.

Before any treatment, we will thoroughly assess your child’s needs and discuss the best approach to protect their smile and overall well-being.

Trust Wisdom Teeth Removal to Our Team

For older children and teens, wisdom teeth extractions may be necessary to prevent future dental issues such as crowding, infections, or pain.

Our practice works with an oral surgeon who provides in-office wisdom tooth removal for eligible patients. If a case is more complex, such as with impacted teeth, we will offer a referral to a trusted specialist for further care.

No matter the procedure, our goal is to ensure smooth, stress-free surgical treatment while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

At what age might my child need oral surgery?

Children may need surgical procedures at various ages, depending on their dental needs. Tooth extractions may be necessary for younger kids with severe decay or crowding, while wisdom teeth removal is more common in the teen years. Our team will evaluate your child’s smile during routine checkups and recommend care only when it’s truly necessary.

Will my child be asleep during their oral surgery?

The level of sedation depends on the procedure and your child’s needs. For minor extractions, laughing gas may be enough to help them relax. More complex procedures may require oral sedation or general anesthesia, administered by a trained professional. Our team will discuss all options with you to ensure a safe, stress-free experience for your child.

How can I help my child recover after their procedure?

After dental surgery, your child will need plenty of rest. Encourage soft foods, avoid using straws, and help them follow all post-care instructions. Any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll provide detailed aftercare guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and are always available if you have any concerns.
