Children's Dentistry
Sometimes a baby tooth is too damaged to save, or needs to come out to protect your child's developing smile. When an extraction is the right call, we make the experience calm and comfortable.
An extraction is the careful removal of a tooth that can't be saved, or that's in the way of healthy development. We numb the area thoroughly so your child stays comfortable, and the process is usually quick.

Extra comfort when it helps
For anxious children, safe sedation options keep the whole visit easy and calm.
We always try to save a tooth first with a filling, crown, or pulp therapy. When a tooth is too badly decayed, broken, infected, or crowded, removing it relieves pain and protects the surrounding teeth.
Severe decay, a fractured tooth, infection, or significant crowding can all call for an extraction. If your child is in pain, our emergency care can get them seen quickly. Children with a tooth that can't be restored are the typical candidates, as are kids whose baby teeth are blocking incoming permanent teeth.
If a tooth has to come out, we'll make it calm and comfortable, and set your child's smile up for what comes next.
We fully numb the area so your child stays comfortable, and we offer sedation for anxious children. Most kids handle it easily.
Most children recover quickly with simple aftercare. We'll give you clear instructions on eating, rinsing, and managing any soreness.
If a baby tooth comes out early, we may suggest a space maintainer to protect room for the permanent tooth.
