Children need regular dental care as soon as their first tooth erupts around age 1. Just like adults, they may develop cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues that need treatment. They must also be monitored for proper dental development and screened for orthodontic issues.
Good oral hygiene habits will help you avoid most dental problems, but you may still need to undergo oral surgery.
Dental surgery, also often referred to as oral surgery, encompasses any surgical procedure involving the teeth, gums, or jawbone. Many people have their first oral surgery when their wisdom teeth are removed. Some need additional procedures later in life.
