Understanding tooth extractions

Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s a standard procedure done to address issues like severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. Our skilled dental team ensures a comfortable and pain-free experience, prioritizing your child’s oral health and recovery.

The extraction process

The procedure begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth’s condition. Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the extraction. The tooth is then gently loosened and removed with precision by our experienced pediatric dentist

Why extractions are necessary

Key reasons for tooth removal.

Irreparable Tooth Damage: Removal due to decay or trauma.
Infection Risk Reduction: Extracting to prevent the spread of infection.
Orthodontic Preparation: Creating space for aligned teeth.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Removing to prevent pain and misalignment.
Periodontal Disease: Addressing advanced gum disease effects.

Post-extraction care

After the extraction, care is crucial for healing and comfort. Instructions include managing swelling with ice packs, taking prescribed pain relief if necessary, and eating soft foods. Proper aftercare ensures quick recovery and minimizes complications.

Recovery and beyond

Recovery from a tooth extraction typically takes a few days. Following our post-extraction guidelines will help speed up your healing process and reduce the risk of infection. We’re here to support you through every step of your recovery journey.
