Coincidental: Flatulence may be due to diet (consuming gaseous foods), sore teeth preventing proper chewing, food allergy or intolerance, malfunctioning GI tract, etc. Not caused by dental treatment. Please see Pediatrician or Pediatric Gastroenterologist re: Gas. Please see Dentist or Pedodontist to see if your child needs space maintainer after dental surgery.

Unrelated: His malodorous flatulence is unrelated to his dental surgery. Is he on an medications? Although eating healthy foods, are they flatulogenic in nature? Discuss your concerns with his pediatrician.
