When is pediatric surgery needed?

The prevalence of untreated caries of primary teeth among children aged 1-9 years in Poland is 45.96%. Almost half of children in this age group have dental problems that require treatment and preventive measures.

Indications for pediatric dental surgery:

• Removal of primary teeth that do not fall out on their own. Sometimes they are retained in the oral cavity, interfering with the eruption of permanent teeth. This can lead to malocclusion or crowding of teeth.
• Treatment of jaw developmental anomalies. Congenital or acquired jaw deformities affect chewing functions, speech and facial aesthetics. Surgical intervention corrects defects and ensures normal development of the maxillofacial region.
• Elimination of inflammation and suppuration. Acute inflammatory processes (abscesses, phlegmons) require immediate surgical intervention to prevent the spread of infection and the development of complications.
• Correction of the frenulum of the tongue or lip. A short frenulum limits the mobility of the tongue or lip, which affects the processes of feeding, speech, and bite formation. Surgical correction contributes to the normal development of oral cavity functions.
• Removal of teeth due to crowding or orthodontic treatment. If there is not enough space in the jaw for proper eruption, individual teeth are removed to correct the bite and improve the position of the remaining dentition.
• Treatment of traumatic injuries. After injuries to the face or jaws, surgical intervention may be required to restore the integrity of bone structures, soft tissues, and teeth.

Timely removal of a baby tooth in Poland and the performance of the necessary surgical procedures ensures the healthy development of the child’s oral cavity and prevents possible complications.

What is the procedure?

The first stage is a consultation with a pediatric dentist-surgeon. The doctor conducts an examination of the oral cavity, assesses the condition of the teeth, gums and jaw, analyzes X-rays or 3D scans. This allows us to identify hidden pathologies, inflammatory processes or other complications. Based on the data obtained, the need for surgical intervention is determined and the optimal treatment method is selected.

Choice of anesthesia

To make the procedure comfortable for the child, modern methods of anesthesia are used. The choice depends on the complexity of the intervention, the patient’s age and the level of anxiety:

• local anesthesia is used for simple manipulations, for example, removing a baby tooth or correcting a frenulum;
• sedation is a light drug sleep that helps reduce fear and tension during the procedure;
• general anesthesia is used for complex surgical interventions, when full control of the child’s condition is required.

Before treatment, the specialist explains the features of anesthesia to parents and gives recommendations for preparation, for example, limiting food intake before sedation or anesthesia.

Surgical intervention

The main stage depends on the nature of the problem:

• tooth extraction – performed using gentle techniques, such as piezosurgery or laser extraction, which minimizes tissue trauma;
• tissue correction – removal of the frenulum of the tongue or lip, treatment of inflammatory processes, removal of cysts or neoplasms.

The doctor works with maximum precision to reduce discomfort and shorten the healing period.

Rehabilitation and care after the procedure

After the intervention, the child receives individual recommendations for oral care. In most cases, they are limited to:

• Using antiseptic solutions for rinsing;
• Avoiding physical exertion to prevent complications;
• Following a diet in the first days after surgery (soft, warm food).

In the case of complex intervention, the doctor prescribes painkillers or antibiotics. It is also important to attend follow-up examinations to ensure proper healing.

Each procedure at Astra Dent in Warsaw is carried out on a turnkey basis – from the first consultation to full recovery. A full range of services is available: detailed diagnostics, painless surgical intervention, professional rehabilitation and follow-up care.

After removal or correction, doctors immediately carry out the necessary manipulations to strengthen the teeth – fluoridation, remineralization or orthodontic preparation. Thanks to the integrated approach, the child does not need to undergo treatment in different facilities – everything you need is collected in one place, which simplifies the process and guarantees a high-quality result.
