When Is A Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While we strive to preserve your child’s natural teeth whenever possible, there are situations where a tooth extraction may be the best option, such as:
- Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be treated with a filling or crown.
- Overcrowding, to make room for orthodontic treatment.
- A stubborn baby tooth that hasn’t fallen out naturally, delaying the eruption of permanent teeth.
- Trauma or damage that compromises the structure of the tooth.
Tips for a Smooth Recovery After the extraction, it’s important to:
- Follow our aftercare instructions, including soft foods and avoiding straws.
- Keep the extraction site clean by gently rinsing with warm salt water.
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended to manage any discomfort.
- Schedule a follow-up visit to monitor healing and discuss next steps for your child’s oral health..
