Tooth Extractions

What is it?

There are two different types of extractions that a child may need to undergo: simple and surgical. A simple tooth extraction requires extracting a tooth that is already grown in and visibly present. A surgical tooth extraction requires the need to extract a tooth that is either partially or fully impacted.

Comfort and safety

Comfortable and safe tooth extractions for kids involve specialized pediatric care using gentle techniques, nitrous oxide, or sedation to minimize anxiety. Key safety measures include using local anesthetic to numb the area, careful monitoring, and following post-op instructions like avoiding straws, eating soft foods, and using cold compresses to reduce swelling. 

Frequently asked questions

Why does my child need a tooth extracted?
Extractions are typically considered when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged by trauma, or not falling out naturally, threatening the alignment of permanent teeth. They are also common before orthodontic treatment to resolve crowding.
