Primary tooth extraction, also known as deciduous tooth amputation, is a dental procedure performed when a child’s baby teeth are affected by severe decay, inflammation, or trauma that cannot be treated by other means. Before permanent teeth erupt, baby teeth play a crucial role in a child’s ability to eat and speak. At A1 Dent, we offer specialized treatment methods designed to protect the dental health of our young patients.
Why is Primary Tooth Extraction Necessary?
•Inflammation or infection in the tooth’s pulp
•Fracture or dislocation of the tooth
•Presence of cysts or abscesses around the tooth root
•Severe decay reaching the tooth’s nerve
Primary Tooth Amputation at A1 Dent
Our experienced pediatric dentists are skilled in making children feel comfortable during dental procedures. With colorful and fun play areas, we help reduce any fear or anxiety children may have about visiting the dentist.
Local anesthesia ensures that children do not experience pain during the procedure. All treatments are carried out in a sterile environment. After the extraction, we monitor the site to prevent any shifting of other teeth and ensure that the permanent teeth grow in correctly.
How is Primary Tooth Extraction Performed at A1 Dent?
First, your child’s teeth are carefully examined to determine if extraction is necessary. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
The affected tooth is then gently removed using specialized dental tools. Bleeding is controlled after the extraction, and we continue to monitor the site for proper healing.
At A1 Dent, we are committed to protecting your child’s oral health. While primary tooth extraction may be necessary, when performed correctly and in the right hands, it will not negatively impact your child’s dental development.
