Oral or facial lacerations in children can happen in an instant—whether from a fall, sports injury, or accident. At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we provide gentle, skilled care to treat cuts and wounds affecting the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue.
Our experienced team works quickly to stop bleeding, ease discomfort, and minimize scarring. With our calming approach and child-friendly techniques, we help children feel safe and cared for every step of the way.
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.
