Diagnosing The Future
Children are by nature in a rapid stage of orofacial growth, from changing size, to a developing range of motion. A paediatric maxillofacial consultant will go beyond core diagnosis and reflect on innate changes to come.
They will also consider the past, a child’s medical history and family medical history, treatment to date, any individual issues.
Solutions come from gathering this knowledge, although they can be aided by our state of the art diagnostic equipment. In house digital imaging and microscopy are helpful tools for analysing a range of paediatric needs.
Our London clinic ensures experience and technology come together, applied to every issue a child has. One wrongly growing tooth can have a significant effect, as can the outcome of life changing accidents.
Complete Paediatric Support
Problems with the frenum are an example of prevalent issues, a membrane which attaches the lip and cheek to the oral mucosa. A child’s speech, or taste may be affected, yet the problem can be corrected with minor surgery.
Straightforward, or more complex conditions can be successfully treated with skill and understanding. They are wide ranging and include:
- Head & Neck Tumours
- Oral & Facial Lesions
- Jaw Abnormalities
- Childhood Dental Needs
- Facial Trauma Damage
- A Variety Of Infections

Childhood Facial Trauma
An area which deserves a special mention where children are involved. Our face and surrounding areas are complex, sudden damage can require specialist care at any age, more so when treatment is about planning for growth.
Management of childhood trauma to the face, jaw region, or teeth is a dedicated field and one our clinic focuses on. Helping to ensure that accidents are not permanently changing events, by restoring normality.
The breadth of trauma issues is infinite, yet solutions hold shared principles. The ability to rebuild using modern medical and surgical techniques, to overcome the worry damage brings to children and to their families.
A skilled maxillofacial surgeon can achieve much, through microsurgery, tissue grafting and their vision. From a specific facial area, to wider trauma.
