Understanding Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is a field of dental care that involves the use of surgical dental procedures to improve the health, function and appearance of your child’s teeth, mouth and oral structures. For most children, oral surgery is not a concern, and our dentists will only recommend a surgical procedure if it is necessary to help them regain a healthy mouth and smile or in preparation for future treatment or oral development.
The most common type of oral surgery for children is tooth extraction. This is usually recommended if a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, infected, or the teeth are overcrowded. Our Los Angeles dentist may also recommend a tooth extraction if your child’s primary tooth needs to make way for their adult tooth.
Our caring Los Angeles dentist will discuss your child’s oral health and development with you during their routine dental exams. If oral surgery is needed we will discuss your child’s options and create a treatment plan that meets their needs. We understand that oral surgery can be intimidating, and we prioritize patient comfort and safety — you can always count on our team to put your child’s needs first and make sure they are receiving the top-quality care they need to enjoy a healthy smile.
