Tooth Extractions: When a baby tooth is not naturally falling out or a permanent tooth is extensively decayed or damaged, tooth extraction may be necessary. Dr. Riddhi and her team use specialized techniques to ensure a comfortable and painless experience for the child.

Frenectomy: In some cases, children may have a condition called tongue-tie or lip-tie, where the frenulum (the tissue connecting the tongue or lip to the floor of the mouth) is unusually tight. A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure to release or modify the frenulum, allowing for improved movement and function.

Exposure of Impacted Teeth: Sometimes, permanent teeth may fail to properly erupt and remain impacted within the jawbone. In such cases, a surgical procedure called exposure may be performed to uncover the impacted tooth.

Management of Dental Trauma: Children are prone to dental injuries, such as fractured or dislodged teeth, due to their active lifestyles. Minor oral surgical procedures may be necessary to address these traumatic dental injuries, including tooth repositioning, splinting, or other appropriate interventions.

It is important to note that the specific surgical procedure recommended for a child will depend on their individual dental condition. Dr. Riddhi and her team will thoroughly evaluate the child’s oral health and discuss the treatment plan, including the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes with the child’s parent or guardian.
