Removal of baby teeth

Removing baby teeth is a very exciting process not only for children, but also for parents. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand whether the tooth will fall out on its own or whether it is time to take the child to a dentist. In such cases, of course, you should still visit a specialist.

The replacement of baby teeth with permanent teeth is a natural process, which, as a rule, goes unnoticed for children and very rarely causes any complications. Provided, of course, that the parents carefully monitor the child’s oral hygiene and regularly visit a pediatric dentist.

But there are still cases where removal cannot be avoided:

• The tooth is badly damaged by decay and must be treated;
• A severe form of pulpitis or periodontitis develops in the tooth;
• The tooth has been moving for some time, but will not fall out, causing pain and constant discomfort for the child;
• a permanent tooth has begun to erupt and the baby tooth is still in place.

At City Smile Dentistry, we only remove baby teeth as a last resort. After all, as we know, early loss of a temporary tooth can cause an incorrect bite and distortion of the dentition. Children’s doctors of our center carry out extraction quickly and without any unpleasant sensations for the child. Usually, simple extractions do not even require anesthesia, and if anesthesia is still needed – your child will be given the best option.

In addition, in the City Smile Dental Center, great importance is attached not only to quality treatment, but also to the psychological state of the child. A pediatric dentist will prepare your child for extraction, make this procedure not scary at all, and then you can put the baby tooth under your pillow, waiting for gifts from the tooth fairy.
