Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
When is a tooth extraction necessary for kids?
We always explore alternative treatments first, but an extraction may be necessary for severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or a tooth that's failed to fall out on its own in time.
Is a tooth extraction painful for my child?
We use local anesthetic, and often sedation options like nitrous oxide, to keep your child comfortable throughout the procedure.
Will my child need a space maintainer after an extraction?
If a baby tooth is removed too early, we may recommend a space maintainer to help guide the surrounding teeth into their proper position as your child grows.
How should I care for my child after an extraction?
We'll provide specific aftercare instructions, but generally recommend soft foods, gentle rinsing, and avoiding the extraction site for the first few days.
