Tooth Extractions

Gentle and Necessary Tooth Removals

A pediatric dentist will always try everything possible to save your child’s natural tooth, but in a few specific cases, extractions are absolutely necessary. For example, tooth extractions are often indicated if your child has an infection under their tooth, commonly known as an abscess. They might also need to undergo an extraction if their cavities are simply too big to be fixed, which means there is not enough healthy tooth structure left to successfully support a dental crown or filling. Sometimes, extractions might also be needed to create space for overcrowded teeth as part of orthodontic treatments or after a dental trauma.

Recognizing the Warning Signs of Decay

If your child is complaining about sudden or persistent tooth pain, please do not wait and visit us at Olive Tree Pediatric Dentistry immediately. Additionally, if your child experiences any tooth sensitivity while consuming hot or cold foods and drinks, you should talk to our pediatric dentist right away, as that is often a clear sign of underlying cavities. The absolute best way to save your child from severe tooth decay and the need for extractions is to help them maintain excellent daily oral hygiene and to visit our office at least twice a year to ensure optimum dental health.
