Tooth extraction for children
Removing children’s teeth as a last resort
Sometimes, children need to have teeth removed, even though most baby teeth fall out naturally. A tooth extraction may be necessary if the natural process doesn’t occur, especially to make space for incoming adult teeth. For example, if a baby tooth doesn’t fall out on its own and causes crowding, an extraction might be needed to ensure the adult teeth can grow properly.
Tooth extractions may also be required if a tooth is damaged or infected beyond repair. This could happen due to an injury, infection, or severe cavity. In such cases, removing the tooth can prevent further damage and maintain oral health.
During your initial consultation, our team will assess whether extraction is a required treatment for your child.
