A dental extraction, commonly known as getting a tooth pulled, is one of the most common procedures performed at a dentist’s office.
At Vasupujya Pediatric Dental Hospital we perform 100% Painless tooth extractions which is least traumatic and fear – free for kids.
We take a preventative approach to dental care, through which we strive to prevent the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental problems that might require pediatric tooth extractions.
When pediatric tooth extraction is unavoidable, our practice at Vasupujya Dental offers the options of laughing gas sedation to make the procedure as stress-free and painless.
This is especially helpful for children who are unable to cope with the delivery of dental care, who have a high level of dental anxiety, or who are children with special healthcare needs.
We at Vasupujya Pediatric Dental Hospital, are the first dental clinic to offer dental stem cell banking, a technology that gives families the opportunity to collect and preserve the valuable stem cells that are contained within baby teeth, wisdom teeth, and permanent teeth at the time of planned dental extractions.
Tooth removal in children is often performed to:
Once our dentists have determined that dental extraction is necessary, we will perform a digital X-ray examination in order to further evaluate the tooth.
Before the pediatric tooth extraction procedure, a child will receive local anesthesia in order to numb the affected tooth and area around the tooth.
We offer single tooth anesthesia technology, which provides a number of advantages for our pediatric patients.
In addition, general anesthesia may also be administered, depending on the patient’s needs.
Once completely numbed and prepared, our dentist will begin the extraction procedure, which involves rocking the tooth back and forth to ease it out of its socket for simple removal.
Stubborn teeth may need to be removed in sections.
After the pediatric tooth extraction, patients will likely experience a certain amount of discomfort. This can be relieved by applying ice to the area and taking antibiotics or painkillers if needed.
Patients will be advised to consume a soft diet for a few days and should feel completely better within one to two weeks.
The dental extraction procedure is safe for most patients and does not involve any major complications.
