Our Approach to Dental Extractions
At Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that the decision to extract a tooth is never taken lightly. We recognize that each child may have unique dental needs and concerns. That’s why we only recommend dental extractions as a last resort after exploring all possible alternatives and conservative treatment options to save the tooth.
Dr. Lucia and Dr. Marlina are skilled in assessing the condition of your child’s teeth and determining the most appropriate course of action. We believe in taking a conservative approach to dental care, which means that we will do everything we can to preserve your child’s natural teeth and maintain their oral health and function.
When is a
Dental Extraction Necessary?
certain situations where we may recommend a dental extraction, including:
Severe Tooth Decay:
If a tooth is severely decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth.
Advanced Gum Disease:
In cases of advanced gum disease (periodontitis), where the tooth's supporting structures are compromised, extraction may be required to prevent further damage and preserve oral health.
Impacted Teeth:
Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, may need to be extracted if they are causing pain, crowding, or other dental problems.
Orthodontic Treatment:
In some cases, dental extractions may be necessary as part of orthodontic treatment to create space and achieve proper tooth alignment.
Compassionate Care Every Step of the Way
We know the prospect of a dental extraction can be daunting for both children and parents. From the initial consultation to post-extraction follow-up care, we will ensure that your child feels comfortable, informed, and supported every step of the way.
Our pediatric dentists, Dr. Lucia and Dr. Marlina, will take the time to thoroughly explain the reasons for the extraction, discuss the procedure in detail, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
