While our pediatric dentist and team strive to keep your child’s teeth healthy, there are occasions when removing a tooth is the best option. We may recommend extracting your child’s tooth for several reasons:
- There is too much tooth decay to restore the tooth.
- The baby tooth is preventing the permanent teeth from erupting properly.
- The tooth needs to be pulled in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
- The tooth has sustained damage from trauma or severe infection.
Here at Preston Center Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to making the tooth extraction process as gentle as possible. We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for children, so we work hard to ensure your child feels comfortable and secure in our office. We use local anesthetics to numb the area around the tooth, and if necessary, we gently loosen the tooth root from the surrounding gums and bone for a safe and painless extraction.
After the extraction, our team will provide you with detailed care instructions to help your child heal and recover quickly. These instructions may include advice on managing pain, preventing infection and maintaining good oral hygiene. Our goal is to support your child’s recovery and help them return to their normal activities as soon as possible.
