Pomona Oral Surgery for Teens Kids & Adults Wisdom Teeth & Extractions


Gentle, kid-friendly surgical care—fit for little princes, princesses, teens, and adults

At Kids Dental Castle in Pomona, we combine pediatric expertise with a calming, storybook atmosphere. From simple extractions to wisdom teeth and frenectomies, our focus is safety, comfort, and clear communication with families every step of the way.

When Oral Surgery Helps

  • Wisdom teeth removal (impaction, pain, swelling, infection, crowding)
  • Baby & permanent tooth extractions (severe decay, orthodontic space, infection)
  • Frenectomy (lip/tongue-tie release to support feeding, speech, and hygiene)
  • Exposure & bonding (to help impacted teeth erupt for braces)
  • Infection/abscess care (evaluation, incision & drainage)
  • Soft-tissue procedures & biopsies (as indicated)

Comfort Options (Sedation & Anesthesia)

Every patient is unique. We tailor the level of relaxation to age, medical history, and procedure:

  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) – light, quick to wear off
  • IV sedation – deeper relaxation with continuous monitoring
  • General anesthesia – fully asleep for complex care or very anxious patients
Safety first: Thorough medical review, dose precision, and continuous monitoring are standard.

What to Expect

  1. Royal Welcome & Exam – Health history review, digital X-rays if needed, and a clear treatment plan.
  2. Comfort Setup – We explain the chosen comfort option in simple, child-friendly language.
  3. Gentle Procedure – Precise technique, steady monitoring, and reassurance throughout.
  4. After-Care & Follow-Up – Written instructions, check-ins as needed, and direct access for questions.

After-Care Essentials

  • Bleeding: Bite on gauze 20–30 minutes; replace as instructed.
  • Comfort: Use recommended pain relief; avoid aspirin unless directed.
  • Swelling: Cold compresses 10–15 minutes on/off for the first 24–48 hours.
  • Diet: Cool, soft foods; no straws for 24 hours.
  • Oral hygiene: Gentle brushing away from the site; warm salt-water rinses after 24 hours if advised.
  • Call us if: Fever, worsening pain/swelling after day 3, persistent bleeding, or concerns.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth

  • Impaction or partial eruption causing pain/swelling
  • Crowding & shifting around back molars/braces
  • Infection & decay in hard-to-clean areas
  • Cysts or damage to nearby teeth/bone (less common)

Signs It’s Time to Check

  • Tenderness or swelling behind back molars
  • Food trapping, bad breath, or recurrent gum infections
  • Jaw soreness, headaches, or shifting teeth

Recovery (Quick Guide)

  • Day 0–1: Gauze 20–30 min; cold compress on/off; rest with head elevated.
  • Day 2–3: Swelling peaks, then improves; soft, cool foods (no straws).
  • Day 4–7: Gradually return to normal foods; continue gentle hygiene.

Call us if: Fever, persistent bleeding, or worsening pain/swelling after day 3.

After-Care Essentials

  • Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous spitting 24–48 hrs
  • Take prescribed/approved pain meds as directed
  • Brush gently away from sites; start salt-water rinses after 24 hrs (if advised)
  • Stick to soft foods, then advance as tolerated
  • Keep activity light for 1–2 days

  • What age do wisdom teeth erupt?

    Usually 17–25. We evaluate earlier to choose the safest timing.

  • Will my child be “put to sleep”?

    Not always. Many cases use nitrous or IV sedation; general anesthesia is reserved for specific needs.

  • How long is recovery?

    Most patients feel much better within 2–3 days, following our guidelines.

  • Insurance & costs?

    We verify benefits, give transparent estimates, and accept most PPO plans. HSA/FSA welcome. Have HMO or Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal? Call—we’ll review options or refer.

Risks (We Minimize Them)

Bleeding, swelling, infection, dry socket, sinus/nerve irritation (rare). Careful planning and clear home-care reduce risks.

Costs & Insurance

We welcome most PPO plans, verify benefits, give transparent estimates, and accept HSA/FSA. Have HMO or Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal? Call—we’ll review options or refer.
