Reasons for Tooth Extraction

1. Severe Tooth Decay:

• When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and further complications.

2. Trauma or Injury:

• Accidents or sports injuries can cause significant damage to a tooth, sometimes necessitating its removal to protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

3. Gum Disease:

• Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth and damage the supporting bone, requiring extraction to maintain oral health.

4. Orthodontic Treatment:

• Sometimes teeth are removed to make space for proper alignment of the remaining teeth during orthodontic treatments.

The Extraction Process

1. Initial Examination:

• Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth and surrounding bone structure.

2. Sedation Options:

• We offer various sedation options, including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and conscious sedation, to ensure your child is comfortable and relaxed.

3. Tooth Removal:

• The dentist will gently remove the tooth using specialized instruments, ensuring minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

4. Post-Extraction Care:

• After the extraction, we provide detailed instructions to help manage pain and promote healing. This includes advice on diet, hygiene, and activities to avoid.
