Swelling and infections in the mouth can stem from cavities, trauma, or untreated dental issues. At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating pediatric oral infections with gentle, effective care. Our goal is to restore your child’s comfort while protecting their smile and long-term dental health.
Oral infections in children can progress rapidly and lead to serious complications, including damage to nearby teeth, bone, or soft tissue. Early treatment is essential to reduce the risk of long-term dental issues and safeguard your child’s overall health.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we monitor symptoms carefully, treat infections at the source, and help families understand preventive measures. Whether it’s facial swelling, gum inflammation, or a painful abscess, we’re here with urgent care and ongoing support.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities.
