When Surgery Is the Kindest Path Forward

When Surgery Is the Kindest Path Forward

Sometimes a child's dental care needs more than a filling or a cleaning — whether because of severe decay, an accident, impacted teeth, or a medical condition that makes routine treatment difficult. In those moments, careful surgical care can be the safest and most comfortable choice. Dr. Salwa leads our surgical team with a calm, planned approach designed around the child.

When Dental Surgery May Be Needed

Every case is assessed carefully — we only recommend surgery when it's the right option for your child's long-term health and comfort.

Extractions When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved

If a baby tooth is badly damaged by decay or infection, removing it carefully may protect the developing permanent tooth underneath. We explain every step to parents and children before proceeding.

Treatment After Dental Trauma

Falls and sports injuries can damage teeth, gums, and bone. Prompt surgical care — when needed — can save teeth, prevent infection, and support healthy healing.

Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie (Frenectomy)

Some children have tight tissue bands under the tongue or lip that can affect feeding, speech, or dental development. When treatment is needed, we use gentle, precise techniques and guide parents through recovery.

Care Under Sedation or Anaesthesia

For very anxious children, very young children, or those with special healthcare needs, we plan treatment under laughing gas or — where appropriate — general anaesthesia in a fully equipped hospital setting. Safety and comfort lead every decision.

Planned, Parent-Guided Care

  • Led by Dr. Salwa, Senior Consultant in Paediatrics Dentistry
  • Coordinated sedation and anaesthesia planning
