Types of Pediatric Oral Surgery at Riverside Oral Surgery
Dental Extractions
Children may need teeth extracted for a variety of reasons. Primary teeth may need pulling if they have not fallen out on their own if they have severe tooth decay, or due to an injury to the tooth. Our oral surgeons evaluate each child individually to determine the best approach and the level of anesthesia needed for your child’s comfort and safety.
Exposures of Unerupted Teeth and Canines
On occasion, a child’s permanent teeth do not erupt properly. Impacted Canines, particularly the canine teeth on either side of the front teeth, can lead to orthodontic problems and shifting of the teeth. In some situations, the unerupted teeth may fail to emerge outside the arch of the rest of the teeth. Our surgeons may expose an unerupted tooth to encourage natural eruption or surgically move the tooth into position, working with an orthodontist to ensure proper alignment.
Cleft Lip and Palate
A cleft lip or palate is a birth condition characterized by incomplete formation of the upper lip or palate (the roof of the mouth). The front of the mouth or face does not fully close, leaving a gap that can make eating, drinking, and speaking difficult. Surgical intervention may be needed on children as young as two months to repair the problem. Our surgeons have the expertise and specialization needed to address complicated aesthetic, functional, and speech concerns while enabling the child’s facial features to continue to develop properly.
Frenectomy
Children born with a lip tie or tongue tie may have difficulty in nursing, speaking, and eating. A lip tie or tongue tie can also prevent the front teeth from coming together properly, leading to a wide gap. If the band of connective tissue between the lips and gums or the tongue and the floor of the mouth is too tight or prominent, a frenectomy can be performed to release the band (the frenum) and improve conditions.

Stop looking further for your oral surgery needs, Dr. Auerbach is all you need to know. A few minutes into my consultation visit and I already knew I was in great hands. He was very professional, great on answering all questions I had, and gave me as much time as I needed without making me feel rushed. There's a reason the NJ Devils trust Riverside. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed in just under an hour. Thankfully, he did a great job on that as well as preparing me for what the recovery process would entail. He personally followed up with me the next day to check in on me and see if I was having any complications....which I wasn't, cause he's just that good.

My gums were infected and super sensitive, I went to my normal dentist who told me it was nothing serious and sent me on my way. It got worse and my dentist didn’t answer the “emergency line” so I reached out to Dr.Auerbachs office and they were kind enough to get me in due to the pain I was feeling. As soon as I sat in the chair Dr.Auerbach knew exactly what the problem was and assured me it will be treated properly and efficiently. The staff was so kind and prompt. I was so thankful to have gotten in when I did. Dr.Auerbach came highly recommended, which I can reassure you, he is the best. I will always be using him and his office. They really do make you feel calm and like things will be taken care of! I would recommend to anyone 10/10!
