Pediatric oral surgery is a branch of dentistry focused on procedures for children’s dental issues that cannot be resolved through regular treatment. This specialized field addresses conditions such as impacted teeth, dental trauma, congenital abnormalities, severe tooth decay requiring extraction, and soft tissue problems in young patients. Dr. Nesiba is an expert in managing children’s anatomical, physiological, and psychological needs during surgical interventions.
We understand that tooth extractions can be intimidating for children. That’s why we prioritize kid-friendly dental care in every procedure. Our gentle approach and soothing environment help ease anxiety while ensuring the extraction process is as comfortable as possible. We take the time to explain each step of the procedure to parents and children, creating a positive experience that contributes to maintaining healthy smiles for years to come.
During the initial visit, our pediatric dentist, Dr. Nesiba, evaluates the child’s oral health and discusses the procedure. He reviews the patient’s medical history and answers any questions the parents or guardians may have regarding the surgery. Parents are often asked to complete patient forms that provide essential information about the child’s health and any previous dental treatments. This helps ensure that Dr. Nesiba can plan the procedure with a thorough understanding of the child’s needs. He will also explain the anesthesia options, recovery expectations, and any preoperative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for the young patient.
We understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many children. Our approach to preventing these feelings focuses on creating a calm, welcoming environment and building trust from the first visit. Dr. Nesiba explains each procedure in simple, age-appropriate language, helping the child feel informed and comfortable. We also use gentle techniques and positive reinforcement throughout the appointment, ensuring each experience is as stress-free as possible. For children who may need extra support, we offer a range of sedation options, including nitrous oxide (commonly known as “laughing gas”), to help them relax during treatment. By fostering a positive, non-threatening atmosphere, we aim to reduce fear and help young patients develop a healthy relationship with dental care that lasts a lifetime.
Recovery is typically quick and manageable, especially for less invasive procedures. After dental treatment, children may experience mild discomfort or swelling, usually subsiding within a few hours. In cases where anesthesia or sedation was used, parents are advised to monitor their child and ensure they are comfortable at home. Soft foods and plenty of fluids are recommended for the first few days, and children must avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods.
Parents should contact our dental office for guidance if there are any concerns, such as persistent pain or unusual swelling. Children generally recover swiftly with proper care and attention, allowing them to return to normal activities without significant disruption. Dr. Nesiba provides specific instructions for each patient based on their condition and needs.
Pediatric oral surgery may be necessary for children who experience certain dental conditions or issues that cannot be treated with standard procedures. Our thorough assessments ensure each patient receives the best care possible. Candidates for pediatric oral surgery typically include children with the following conditions:
Pediatric oral surgery addresses serious dental issues that routine treatments cannot resolve. Correcting conditions such as impacted teeth, dental trauma, or congenital abnormalities, our procedures help maintain or restore a child’s oral health, preventing future complications. Proper intervention at an early age leads to healthier teeth and gums, reducing the risk of long-term dental problems that could impact overall well-being.
