Gentle & Safe Extractions for Kids
At Van Orman Dental, we ensure that baby tooth removal is a gentle and stress-free experience for your child. While baby teeth naturally fall out, some may need to be removed early due to decay, crowding, or delayed loss that could affect permanent tooth development. Our kid-friendly approach ensures a comfortable, painless procedure to support your child’s long-term oral health.
When Does a Baby Tooth Need to Be Removed?
Baby teeth removal, also called primary teeth, usually falls out on their own. Baby tooth removal is made easy and gentle. Trust our pediatric dental team to care for your child’s growing smile. However, your child may need a professional tooth extraction if they have:
- Severely decayed or infected teeth that can’t be restored
- A stubborn baby tooth is preventing a permanent tooth from coming in
- Crowding issues affecting tooth alignment and broken jaw development
- Teeth damaged by injury or trauma
- Extra teeth (supernumerary teeth) affecting normal development
What to Expect During Baby Tooth Extraction
Our goal is to ensure a gentle and stress-free experience for your child:
Consultation & Examination:- We assess the tooth’s condition with X-rays to determine if extraction is necessary.
Pain-Free Procedure:- We use local anesthesia or mild sedation (if needed) to keep your child comfortable and relaxed.
Quick & Gentle Removal:- Our experienced team carefully removes the tooth using minimally invasive techniques.
Recovery & Aftercare:- We provide simple aftercare instructions for a smooth and fast healing process.
What to Expect After Baby Tooth Removal?
- Mild soreness for a day or two – can be managed with kid-friendly pain relief.
- Soft diet for 24 hours – stick to yogurt, applesauce, and mashed foods.
- No straws or spitting for 24 hours – to avoid dislodging the healing area.
- Good oral hygiene – gentle brushing around the area helps prevent infection.
