In cases of permanent teeth, tooth removal is only performed on teeth that are severely damaged and in a condition that is beyond repair. It is more common for children to have a tooth removal procedure done on one of their baby teeth. Baby teeth are removed to help arrange the mouth for dental or orthodontic work. Although it doesn’t matter if the tooth is adult or baby, it will only be removed when absolutely essential.
During a tooth removal, we numb the area around the tooth, so the patient doesn’t experience any pain. Then, we loosen the tooth with an elevator. Once the tooth is loosened, the dentist extracts it with forceps. Thanks to the numbing, the process is pain-free, but there are also sedative options as well.
Tooth removal can be a stressful time for you and your child, but it doesn’t have to be. By choosing our experienced dental team, we will make sure tooth removal is the right option for your child. Our friendly team of dentists will ensure that your child is comfortable and ready for the procedure.
