Sometimes, teeth may need to be removed if they’re too damaged from decay or infection. Also, orthodontists may recommend extractions before starting braces to ensure proper alignment.
Removing a tooth is essential for pediatric dental health. This could be because of severe decay that can’t be fixed, crowded teeth affecting alignment, painful or damaged wisdom teeth, irreparable damage from an injury, or to assist with orthodontic treatment for achieving a correct bite and alignment.
Before the extraction, we’ll assess your child’s oral health, go over the procedure, and clarify the anesthesia type and recovery process.
Following your child’s tooth extraction, we’ll offer straightforward guidance on post-operative care and pain management to facilitate a comfortable recovery. Your child’s oral health is our foremost concern, and we’re here to assist with any queries or apprehensions throughout the healing process.
Radiation concerns are valid, but rest assured, our pediatric dental X-rays prioritize safety. Utilizing digital radiography, we minimize radiation exposure while maximizing image clarity. Children are safeguarded with lead aprons and specialized shields, allowing us to focus precisely on oral health without compromise. Your child’s safety and accurate dental assessments are our top priorities.
