Minor Surgical Procedures

Minor Surgical Procedures

Some dental conditions in children need a small surgical procedure – for example, removing a milk tooth that refuses to fall out, extracting a badly infected tooth, releasing a tight tongue-tie or lip-tie, or removing extra (supernumerary) teeth that block normal eruption. These are routine, short procedures when performed with the right technique and a calm, child-friendly approach.

Every procedure begins with a clear explanation for parents and gentle preparation for the child. We use effective local anaesthesia, work efficiently to keep chair time short, and provide simple after-care instructions so healing is smooth and comfortable at home.

What this service includes

•  Extraction of over-retained or non-restorable milk teeth
•  Removal of badly decayed or infected teeth

•  Clear post-operative care instructions and follow-up

Who is it for?

Children who need a tooth removed, have a milk tooth that has not fallen out on time, have a tongue-tie or lip-tie affecting feeding or speech, or have extra teeth interfering with normal eruption.
