Paediatric Oral Surgery

Paediatric Oral Surgery

Similar to adults, there are many dental conditions that affect both growing children and teenagers. In these age groups, the adult dentition is developing and there may also be a need for orthodontic intervention to correct malocclusion and crowding in the dental arches. Some of these dental conditions can affect the normal eruption of adult teeth, cause damage to the surrounding teeth or even interfere with orthodontic therapy. Some of the more common procedures performed for young children or teenagers include:

  • Removal of deciduous teeth or impacted teeth
  • Frenectomy or Tongue-tie surgery
  • Orthodontic traction or Gold Chain Bonding
  • Removal of swellings, jaw cysts or benign lesions

The Consultation Process

1. Initial Assessment

During the consultation, you will meet one of our dental professionals, who will review your health history, discuss your oral condition, and ask other questions to accurately diagnose your underlying problem(s). If you happen to have any questions or doubts, we will also be here to answer them as best as we can.

2. Imaging Tests

Additional imaging tests, including X-rays, may be ordered to examine your mouth, neck, and jaw further. These images can accurately determine if there may be damage, defects or a disorder in the affected area, thereby informing the treatment plan.

3. Laboratory Tests

Our oral pathologists will perform additional laboratory tests, such as blood tests, to help obtain a more accurate diagnosis and differentiate some oral conditions from others. This step will also be necessary to ensure your treatment goes smoothly.

4. Further Consultation on Treatment

With the results of the imaging and lab tests, we will brief you on the appropriate treatment plan based on said results to ensure you can make a swift recovery with our medical advice and expertise.

5. Treatment Phase

Treatment may involve a multidisciplinary approach to ensure your oral and any related conditions are treated and managed effectively, improving recovery outcomes.
