We understand that children need special care, especially when it comes to dental treatments like tooth extractions. Dr. Emily Wolfe offers gentle and compassionate pediatric tooth extractions to ensure your child stays comfortable and confident throughout the process. Whether a baby tooth needs to be removed for orthodontic reasons or due to damage or decay, we are here to support your family every step of the way.
Why Pediatric Extractions May Be Needed
Tooth extractions for children are often recommended to protect their long-term oral health. Sometimes, a baby tooth may not fall out on its own or may interfere with the proper eruption of a permanent tooth. In other cases, a tooth may be severely decayed, infected or damaged from injury, making extraction the safest solution.
Common reasons for pediatric tooth extractions include:
- Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Severely decayed or infected teeth
- Fractured teeth that cannot be repaired
- Baby teeth that do not fall out naturally
- Impacted or poorly positioned teeth
We will perform a thorough evaluation and discuss your child’s treatment options with you to ensure the best possible outcome.
