At Dynamic Dentistry AZ, we understand that making decisions about your child’s dental care can be challenging. In some cases a pediatric tooth extraction may be necessary to preserve your child’s overall oral health. Our dentists and team are committed to providing clear information and compassionate care so that you feel confident in the decisions that are made.
Reasons for Pediatric Tooth Extractions
There are several reasons why Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains and Dr. Eric Mack may recommend and extraction for your child:
- Extensive tooth decay – When decay has progressed too far, saving the tooth may lead to further complications or infection.
- A baby tooth is preventing a permanent tooth from erupting in the proper position – in these cases, extraction of the baby tooth helps create space for the permanent tooth to emerge correctly and reduces the likelihood of overcrowding.
- Traumatic injuries or severe infections may also necessitate extraction. If a tooth has sustained significant damage, removal may be the best option to alleviate pain and prevent additional problems.
- Extractions may also be performed as part of an orthodontic treatment plan to ensure that there is adequate space for permanent teeth to align properly.
The Extraction Process
Our dentists and team are highly experienced in performing pediatric tooth extractions, and we take every precaution to ensure your child’s comfort. Before the procedure, we review your child’s medical and dental history and explain each step in detail.
We begin the extraction by numbing the area with a local anesthetic, which helps to eliminate any pain during the procedure. Once the area is fully anesthetized, our dentists will carefully loosens the tooth from the surrounding bone and gum tissue. We use gentle techniques and take our time to ensure that the extraction is as painless and stress-free as possible. Our team remains attentive to your child’s needs throughout the procedure, offering reassurance and clear communication at every stage.
Aftercare & Recovery
After the extraction, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing. You will be advised to have your child bite down on a gauze pad to manage any bleeding and to follow a soft-food diet for a short period. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is important during the recovery period. We encourage you to observe your child closely for any signs of complications such as excessive pain or swelling and to contact our office if you have any concerns.
