What Are Tooth Extractions?
What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions are procedures where a tooth is safely and carefully removed to improve a child’s oral health or prepare for future treatments like braces. At our Allen office, we prioritize preserving natural teeth when possible — but when an extraction is the best course of action, we use the latest techniques and child-friendly care to ensure your little one stays comfortable. Whether it’s a stubborn baby tooth, a severely decayed molar, or an extra tooth blocking eruption, we’re here to help.

FAQs

Does my child need sedation for an extraction?
Not always, but we offer nitrous oxide and other sedation options for children who are especially anxious or undergoing more complex extractions. We’ll help you choose the safest, most comfortable approach.
What should I do after the procedure?
We’ll give you a full set of instructions, but in general, encourage your child to rest, avoid straws or hard foods, and gently bite down on gauze to stop any bleeding. We’re always just a phone call away if you have questions.
Is tooth extraction safe for kids?
Yes. When performed by a trained pediatric specialist, extractions are very safe. At Sprout, we use modern tools, high standards for sterilization, and a compassionate approach to make sure your child is in excellent hands.
