While rare when it comes to dental care for children, oral surgery is sometimes a necessary means of treatment for more serious issues. Tooth extractions, frenotomy, exposure of non-erupted teeth or treatment for a cracked or knocked out tooth are all examples of common oral care surgeries. When you bring your child in for a procedure, we focus on more than just the surgery needs and take into account their emotional welfare. Our staff at Kids Choice Dental goes out of its way to help your child feel safe and secure. We explain treatment in easy-to-understand language, encourage questions and offer ample reassurance. We use the safest sedation methods and will walk you through the options available to you, depending on the type of surgery necessary.

Many of the kids who come to our dental practice have special needs. Our doctors are experienced and prepared to treat children with all manner of physical, mental or emotional needs. The guiding principle at Kids Choice Dental is to always keep your child comfortable and reinforce the idea that going to the dentist is a positive experience.

The prospect of having their child asleep for oral surgery can be a nerve-wracking experience for a lot of parents. Rest assured that modern techniques allow for a very safe sedation when in our care. We’re proud to offer multiple anesthesia options, including nitrous oxide. It never puts you “out”. Instead, it ends up making you feel comfortable during dental procedures, and will directly address anxieties. Nitrous oxide can also be used in conjunction with other options. IV sedation is completely safe and effective when done in a modern state-of-the-art facility such as ours, but is incredibly rare. In these instances, a certified and experienced anesthesiologist handles the procedure, ensuring the safest sedation possible.
