What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery addresses a range of dental issues requiring specialized care. At Strong Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, our services include:

Dental Extractions: Removal of damaged, decayed, or overcrowded teeth to protect oral health and make room for permanent teeth.
Exposure of Unerupted Teeth and Canines: A procedure to assist teeth that haven’t fully erupted, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Frenectomy: A minor surgical procedure to release the frenulum (lip or tongue tie) that can improve feeding, speech, or oral function.
Limited Endodontics: Treatments for baby teeth, such as pulpotomies, to address infection or damage while preserving the natural tooth structure.

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Dr. Sarahand her team are dedicated to creating a welcoming and stress-free environment. Whether your child requires a routine procedure or a more complex surgical treatment, we prioritize their safety and emotional well-being.

She explains each step of the process to both parents and children, helping to alleviate fears and build trust.

By fostering a sense of security, children often feel more relaxed, making their experience as comfortable as possible. From minor procedures like frenectomies to more involved treatments like pulpotomies, Dr. Sarah prioritizes your child’s safety and comfort every step of the way.

Questions?Answers!

01

At what age should my child first see a dentist?

We recommend that your child’s first dental visit occur by the age of one year or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help to establish a relationship with the dentist and ensure that your child’s teeth and gums are developing properly. Regular visits from an early age also allow us to provide guidance on oral hygiene and preventive care.

02

How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?

Preparing your child for their first visit is essential to ensure a positive experience.

- Talk about the visit in a calm, positive manner.
- Use children’s books or videos about dental visits to familiarize them with what to expect.
- Avoid using words like “pain” or “shot” to prevent fear or anxiety.
- Encourage your child to ask questions and express their feelings.

03

What should I expect during my child’s first dental visit?

During your child’s first visit, Dr. Sarah will perform a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums, checking for any early signs of dental problems. We will also discuss the best ways to care for your child’s oral health, including brushing, flossing, and dietary habits. For younger children, the appointment may be short, but it’s important to build a positive experience for future visits.

04

How often should my child visit the dentist?

It’s recommended that your child see the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. Regular visits help to prevent cavities, monitor your child’s oral development, and ensure any potential issues are caught early. Some children may need more frequent visits depending on their individual needs.

05

What are dental sealants, and should my child get them?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth (molars). Sealants help to protect against cavities by preventing food and plaque from getting stuck in the grooves. We typically recommend sealants for children as soon as their permanent molars come in, usually around age 6.

06

Does my child need braces?

Braces may be necessary if your child has crooked teeth, bite issues, or other alignment problems. Dr. Sarah will monitor your child’s teeth as they grow and discuss the best time for orthodontic treatment. Early evaluations allow us to address any concerns before they become more complicated.
