Extractions

Once in awhile, we discover a tooth that has such extensive decay or has been so badly damaged that we can’t save it. This often involves a toothache and can be quite dangerous to ignore – infection in a tooth can spread! In the case of severe infection, decay, or damage we will most likely recommend that the tooth be removed. We are always careful, gentle, and kind with our little patients and takes plenty of time to explain, to both the parents and the child, what will be happening. Once the tooth is extracted, we can discuss replacement or space maintenance options.
