You might be excited about this moment as you can see how much their smile has already changed. These structures help hold places for the permanent ones, and they will eventually fall out. However, there are a few instances where they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riversidesmilespediatricdentistry.com\/childrens-emergency-dentistry.html\">need to be extracted<\/a>. Here\u2019s why and what you can do to help your child throughout this procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Why Do Some Baby Teeth Need to Be Removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although baby teeth come out on their own, there are a few reasons their dentist might recommend having them removed. These are a few to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Large Cavities<\/strong>: Kids often struggle with their dental hygiene, so they may develop decay. If it progresses and gets too big, then pulling the affected tooth can prevent the issue from spreading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Facial Injuries<\/strong>: Your child might end up in a dental emergency where they chip, crack, or knock out a tooth. If it\u2019s too severe, then extracting it can avoid further harm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby Teeth <\/strong><strong>That <\/strong><strong>Last Longer Than Expected<\/strong>: In some cases, a little one might have a baby tooth that\u2019s not coming out while the adult one is trying to erupt. This can cause problems, so having it removed can stop additional issues from developing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Do to Prepare My Child for a Baby Tooth Extraction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your loved one needs to have an extraction, then you can talk to their dentist more about why. Once you understand how it may be beneficial for their oral health, you should do what you can for your child to make it a more comfortable process. Let them bring a small comfort item from home, like a plushie or small blanket. These can give a sense of familiarity that calms them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riversidesmilespediatricdentistry.com\/sedation-dentistry-for-kids.html\">Sedation dentistry<\/a> is also another option you can consider. This is a powerful tool that can help anxious kids feel more at ease while in their provider\u2019s chair. That way, they don\u2019t stress while getting the stronger smile they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Help My Child After Their Procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the procedure, your child will need to heal. Swap them over to a gentle, soft food diet of smoothies, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, and the like. These easy-to-chew options won\u2019t irritate their mouth. Make sure they don\u2019t use a straw as well. The suction motion can lead to dry socket, which is a very painful condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, their dentist will send you home with post-op instructions. That way, you feel confident helping them recover and get them back to a happy, healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riversidesmilespediatricdentistry.com\/meet-dr-miner.html\">Dr. Trent Miner<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine.
