How do I know if my child needs a tooth pulled?
If your child has a tooth that’s severely decayed, infected, damaged, or causing crowding, your pediatric dentist may recommend an extraction. We’ll evaluate every option and only suggest removal when it’s clearly in your child’s best interest.
Will my child be in pain?
No. We use numbing agents and, when needed, offer sedation to make sure your child is comfortable and pain-free during the extraction. Most kids feel little more than pressure and recover quickly with proper care.
How can I help my child heal after the extraction?
Keep them on soft foods for a few days, avoid straws and hard brushing near the area, and encourage rest. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions — including how to manage bleeding and swelling — so your child can heal smoothly and safely.
