Extractions

What is an extraction?

 While baby teeth naturally fall out to make way for permanent teeth, there are instances where a gentle extraction may be recommended. 

Will it hurt?

 Our team is highly skilled in performing baby tooth extractions with the utmost care and gentleness. We utilize local anesthesia to ensure your child experiences minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. We understand that parents may have concerns, and we are happy to answer all your questions and explain the process thoroughly. Our goal is to make the experience a positive one for your child, setting the stage for a lifetime of comfortable dental care. 

Why are extractions needed?

This could be due to a tooth being excessively loose and causing discomfort, significant decay that cannot be restored, or when a baby tooth is hindering the proper eruption of a permanent tooth. 

Home care tips

Consistent and thorough brushing, combined with regular professional dental visits, is the most effective way to prevent the need for tooth extractions in children. By prioritizing these habits, you are investing in your child's long-term oral health and well-being.
