What Are Tooth Extractions?
What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions involve removing a tooth that’s damaged, infected, or interfering with your child’s oral development. While we always aim to preserve natural teeth when possible, some cases require removal to prevent further issues. Our Frisco team uses advanced imaging, gentle techniques, and optional sedation to ensure each child’s experience is as comfortable as possible — and that their smile stays on the right path.

Will my child be in pain after the extraction?
Your child may feel a bit sore or tender, but we’ll provide instructions for comfort at home, including over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Most kids feel back to normal in a couple of days.
Is sedation available during the procedure?
Yes! For anxious kids or more complex extractions, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or other sedation options. We’ll help you decide what’s right for your child.
How do I know if an extraction is really necessary?
Our Frisco pediatric dentists will never recommend an extraction unless it’s absolutely in your child’s best interest. We’ll walk you through all options and only move forward when you feel confident.
