At Canoe Brook Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary for your child’s oral health. Our compassionate team is skilled in performing tooth extractions in Livingston, New Jersey, with the utmost care, ensuring your child’s comfort throughout the process.
Understanding Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth, typically due to decay, infection, or overcrowding. In children, extractions may also be necessary when baby teeth do not fall out in time for the permanent teeth to come in, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The Tooth Extraction Procedure
Our priority is to make the extraction process as stress-free as possible for your child. The procedure includes:
- Gentle Numbing: We use a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring your child is comfortable.
- Careful Extraction: The tooth is gently and carefully removed from its socket.
- Post-Extraction Care: We provide detailed instructions for home care to ensure a smooth recovery.
Benefits of Tooth Extractions
- Relieves Discomfort: Removes the source of pain caused by decay or infection.
- Prevents Further Problems: Helps prevent further oral health issues.
- Prepares for Orthodontic Treatment: Creates space for proper alignment of remaining teeth.
- Promotes Oral Health: Contributes to the overall health of your child’s mouth.
