Why Should I Get Pediatric Laceration Treatment?

While some minor cuts may heal on their own, deeper or bleeding wounds should be evaluated by a pediatric dentist. Untreated lacerations can lead to infection, speech issues, or long-term tissue damage.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we carefully examine the injury, clean the area, and provide necessary closure or sutures. We prioritize your child’s comfort while preventing complications and supporting fast healing.
