Extraction (Children)

About Extraction (Children)

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Regular Dental Cleanings Necessary?

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.

Absolutely. Many dental issues—like cavities or gum disease—don’t cause pain until they’re serious. Regular checkups keep your smile healthy and help spot problems early.

We make cleanings comfortable and stress-free. First, we gently remove plaque and tartar, then polish your teeth so they feel smooth and fresh. It’s quick, easy, and your smile will thank you!

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.
