Oral Surgery

Vital Smiles Georgia is proud to offer pediatric oral surgery services at our Albany office. Our on-site oral surgeon performs basic surgical procedures like root canals, tooth extractions, fillings, and crowns in a comfortable, non-threatening environment.

Before your child’s surgery begins, he or she will receive sleepy juice, an anesthesia used to numb the teeth and gums during any surgical procedure. This kind of “conscious sedation” safely helps your child relax. To further ensure your child’s comfort, we also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for pediatric oral surgery.

Contact Vital Smiles Georgia’s Albany office at 229-432-9555 to make an appointment for your child’s oral surgery.

Cleaning

bottom-cleaning

We keep your child’s teeth sparkling clean with the help of our electric tooth brush (a motorized prophy brush). We then apply bubbles (fluoride) to keep his or her teeth strong.

Filling Cavities

We use fun tools like Mr. Bumpy (our slow speed drill) to remove decay. Your child will then receive a silver star (filling), and the tooth will be good as new.

Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings used to prevent tooth decay. They fill in the tiny grooves of the tooth surface so that brushing becomes more effective.

X-Rays

We use a tooth camera (X-ray machine) to take pictures of your child’s teeth. This gives us a better look at his or her smile. Our Digital X-rays are state of the art, limiting radiation exposure.
