Pitt Meadows Wisdom Surgery

Pitt Meadows Wisdom Surgery

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often emerge in late teens or early adulthood. While some grow in without any issues, others can become impacted, misaligned, or cause crowding and discomfort.

At Meadows Gate Dental, we specialize in gentle and effective wisdom tooth extractions in Pitt Meadows. Whether it’s for preventive care or to relieve pain and swelling, our team ensures a smooth and stress-free experience using advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive techniques.

What Happens on the 1 st Visit:

  • As the pediatric dentist, we want to get properly acquainted with your child.
  • We need to monitor tooth and jaw development to get an idea of your child’s overall health history.
  • We need to evaluate the health of existing teeth and gums.
  • We answer your questions and advise you on how to implement a good oral care regimen.

Pediatric Dentistry: Caring for Your Child’s Teeth

Pediatric oral care has two main components: preventative care at our clinic and preventative care at home. We are committed to providing advanced family dentistry and will work with you and your children to improve dental care. Infant and toddler cavities and tooth decay have been on the increase in recent years; the result is poor dental health for years. Our goal is to assess and preserve your child’s healthy teeth; to ensure that goal is met your children need to visit our office every six months for preventative assessment.

In addition to brushing and flossing, good preventative care includes:

  • Diet – provide your children with a nourishing, well-balanced diet. Minimize sugary diets and continuous snacking. Provide healthy snacks like celery sticks, carrot sticks, and low-fat yogurt.
  • Oral habits – minimize pacifier use and thumb sucking since they can cause the teeth to misalign. If your child has a pacifier, choose an ‘orthodontic’ one. This minimizes the risk of developmental problems like narrow roof arches and crowding. As a pediatric dentist, we can recommend strategies to stop thumb sucking.
  • Oral hygiene – Wash toys and pacifiers regularly with warm water and soap to reduce bacteria and infections. Avoid spoon-sharing wherever possible.
  • Sippy cup use – Sippy cups are often used as a transitional aid for the baby bottle-to-drink glass period. However, some children like to keep sippy cups (filled with milk, breast milk, soda, juice, and sweetened water) at their mouths for long periods of time; resulting in continuous acid attacks on tooth enamel. Sippy cup use needs to be terminated between the ages of twelve and fourteen months – or when your child has the motor capabilities to hold a drink glass.
  • Brushing – Your child’s teeth need to be brushed a minimum of two times per day using a soft bristled brush and a small amount of toothpaste. You will need to help with the brushing process until your child reaches the age of seven and is capable of reaching all areas of the mouth (otherwise the teeth will not be adequately brushed). Use non-fluoridated toothpaste before the age of two and fluoridated toothpaste thereafter. For babies, clean the gums with a clean cotton cloth after each feeding.
  • Flossing – Tooth decay and cavities form most easily between teeth. Ask us to demonstrate the correct child head positioning during flossing and ensure that teeth are properly cleaned between adjacent teeth
  • Fluoride – Used to prevent mineral loss and promote re-mineralization of tooth enamel. Too much fluoride can result in fluorosis, a condition where white specks appear on the permanent teeth, and too little can result in tooth decay. We can assess how much your child is currently receiving and prescribe necessary supplements.
