What Is Pediatric Oral Surgery?
Pediatric oral surgery involves surgical procedures in children to address dental or facial conditions that cannot be treated with routine dental care. These procedures can include extractions of baby teeth or impacted permanent teeth, treatment of oral infections, frenectomies, and repair of dental trauma.
Our surgeons, Dr. Sukhdeep Dhaliwal and Dr. Douglas Baasch, are highly experienced in treating young patients in a calm, supportive environment. We work closely with pediatric dentists and primary care providers to deliver comprehensive care tailored to each child’s developmental needs.
General Anesthesia with Sevoflurane for Children
For many children, undergoing surgery can cause anxiety. To ease this experience, our practice uses Sevoflurane, a widely used inhalation anesthetic in pediatric care. Sevoflurane provides a smooth induction of anesthesia, allowing your child to fall asleep gently and wake up quickly with minimal side effects.
This method avoids the need for IV access in many cases and is especially effective for younger patients or those with heightened anxiety. Our anesthesia protocols follow the highest safety standards, with continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.
Common Pediatric Oral Conditions We Treat
Our pediatric oral surgery services include treatment for:
- Tooth extractions, including retained baby teeth and impacted adult teeth
- Oral abscesses and infections
- Frenectomies (lip-tie or tongue-tie correction)
- Treatment of benign oral lesions or cysts
- Facial or dental trauma due to injury
- Pre-orthodontic surgical procedures
Each case is evaluated individually, and we communicate closely with parents throughout the planning and recovery process.
