How to Talk to Your Child About Oral Surgery

At Pacific Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, our doctors see a range of patients for a variety of procedures, including young children. As parents, we want to prepare our children the best we can for surgery. Here are some talking points to consider when discussing oral surgery with your child:

  • It is good practice to avoid words such as hurt or pain that children can hear. Likewise, indicating to a child that this won’t hurt or saying something like she will not hurt you registers to the child as something that probably will, in fact, hurt.
  • Bring the child to a consultation so that they can see the environment and the staff can individualize how to treat the child.
  • Let your child interact with the oral surgeon and staff.
  • Talk about the treatment plan because preparation can alleviate anxiety and better prepare them for a successful oral surgery experience. Kids of all ages cope better when they know what is going on and why.
  • Talk to your child through discomfort and anxieties and always stay informed so that you are there to answer any questions. Provide reassurance that the procedure is happening to improve his or her overall oral health and well-being.
  • Follow pre- and post-operative instructions closely to ensure your child’s procedure and recovery is as smooth as possible

Our practice also offers EXPAREL®, an alternative pain management option that is administered to the surgical site and provides prolonged pain relief for up to 72 hours. Visit the anesthesia page on our website to learn more about anesthesia and alternative pain relief options. It is important to remain informed and comfortable throughout every step of the process. Please use the following resources on our site to learn more information about some procedures that we regularly treat children for.
