When Your Child Might Need Dental Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is a common procedure that is performed on kids. There are many reasons why your child might need oral surgery, such as to remove wisdom teeth or to correct a jaw misalignment. While we know that no parent wants to hear that their child might need oral surgery, sometimes it's necessary. 

If you are concerned that your child might need oral surgery, it is important to consult with a kids dental office you can trust. Kids Choice Dental has locations throughout Colorado, including Aurora, Wheat Ridge, Denver, and Lakewood. Contact our team and schedule an appointment today!

Your child has a tooth that is severely damaged or decayed.

Teeth can become damaged or decayed for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, kids might not brush their teeth properly or they might eat foods that are high in sugar. Other times, an injury can cause damage to the tooth. If the damage is severe, your child might need oral surgery to repair it.

Your child has a tooth that is impacted or trapped in their jaw.

This can happen when wisdom teeth grow in or when adult teeth are trying to come in while the baby teeth are still in place. Eventually, this can start to impact the surrounding teeth, in addition to causing pain. When this happens, oral surgery is the best route to fix or remove the impacted tooth.

Your child has a severe infection in their mouth.

There are different things that could cause your child to have a severe infection in their mouth. But once the infection has reached a certain stage, oral surgery is often the most effective way to treat it. That's because oral surgery can help to clear out the infection and allow your child's mouth to heal properly.

Your child needs their wisdom teeth removed.

Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that most children will need to have at some point. But that doesn't mean it's not a big deal. Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure, and it's important to make sure that your child is getting the care they need. When it's time to have those wisdom teeth taken out, make sure you work with your dentistry for children team to get the support you need!
