TOOTH EXTRACTION
Children's Dental Extraction in Gulfport & Pascagoula, MS
When does a child require a tooth extraction?
While it is the goal of our dentists to prevent the need for tooth extractions (pulling teeth), sometimes it is necessary.
For example, a tooth may need to be extracted if:
- Has excessive dental decay causing pain or infection
- Has undergone significant trauma
- Required with orthodontic treatment to improve orthodontic outcomes
What does a tooth extraction involve?
If a dental extraction is deemed necessary, the tooth will be anesthetized and gently rocked back and forth until it is wiggled out. This procedure involves minimal discomfort for your child.
