Common Reasons for Pediatric Oral Surgery 

Here are a few of the most common reasons children might need pediatric oral surgery. 

  • Difficulty eating, speaking, or breathing 
  • Pain, infection, or swelling in the mouth 
  • Developmental concerns with teeth, gums, or jaw 

If your child is experiencing any of these issues, it may be time to consult an oral surgeon.
