Tooth extraction in children is a procedure to remove a tooth, often necessary due to decay, trauma, or other dental issues. It can be done with local anesthesia, and sometimes with general anesthesia for more complex extractions or if a child has significant anxiety. After the procedure, some swelling and discomfort are common, but can be managed with ice packs and pain medication.
Yes! Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing at home can’t get rid of. They also help catch small problems before they become big (and expensive!) ones. Think of it like a tune-up for your mouth.

Change your toothbrush (or electric brush head) every 3 months—or sooner if the bristles look worn. A frayed brush doesn’t clean as well and can be tough on your gums.
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing. Bad breath and loose teeth are also warning signs. If you’re unsure, it’s best to get checked—early treatment makes a big difference.
