Tooth extractions can be a necessary part of dental care for children, especially when a baby tooth is severely decayed, damaged or interfering with the healthy development of permanent teeth. Dr. Edgar Luna provides pediatric tooth extractions with compassion, skill and a gentle approach designed to make your child feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.
When Is a Pediatric Tooth Extraction Needed?
While baby teeth are meant to fall out naturally, there are times when a tooth may need to be professionally removed. Pediatric tooth extractions are commonly recommended when:
- A tooth is severely decayed or infected
- Trauma has damaged a tooth beyond repair
- Baby teeth are not falling out on time
- There is crowding that may affect permanent teeth
- Orthodontic treatment requires more space in the mouth
Our dentist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if extraction is the best option for your child. We focus on preserving your child’s oral health while creating a positive experience during treatment.
Comfort-Focused Pediatric Dentistry
At Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we understand that dental procedures can feel intimidating for young patients. That is why our team takes extra care to explain everything in a way that children and parents can understand. We create a calm, welcoming environment and use child-friendly techniques to ensure each visit is as stress-free as possible.
Before performing an extraction, we use gentle local anesthesia to keep your child comfortable. For children who feel anxious, we also offer sedation options to help them relax throughout the procedure. After the tooth is removed, we provide easy-to-follow aftercare instructions and support for a smooth recovery.
Our goal is to protect your child’s smile while building lifelong trust in dental care.
