An extraction can make children and parents anxious, but it is a common procedure in most pediatric dental offices. Sometimes a child’s tooth has too much decay to restore, or they need a tooth or teeth removed to make room for orthodontic treatment.
Regardless, our doctors and their team will ensure you and your child are comfortable with the treatment plan.
After some local anesthetic, our doctors will remove your child’s tooth. If it is impacted or if it is a complicated removal, our doctors will discuss with you if sedation options are recommended.
Once the tooth is removed, our doctors will give you post-op instructions and place a small piece of gauze over the extraction site to stop any bleeding and to help a clot form. Check and replace the gauze every 20 minutes until the bleeding stops.
