When Problems Persist, An Extraction May Be Necessary

While our top priority is to preserve your child’s teeth, there may be situations where we recommend extracting them to prevent further harm to their smile. Dr. Miner and our team will always make sure that any questions you may have about your child’s case are answered, as well as go over all of their available treatment options with you. We want you to feel confident and comfortable in the care they receive! If your child is complaining of dental pain, call our office today to schedule a same-day emergency examination.

When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

We may recommend a children’s tooth extraction in the following situations:
- Severe decay that cannot be treated with a filling or dental crown.
- A cracked or broken tooth that’s damaged beyond repair.
- To prepare for orthodontic treatment.
- When the baby tooth has not come out and is blocking the permanent tooth from erupting.
If you have any questions about the process or why it’s needed, our friendly team is always happy to answer them at your child’s appointment!
