Extraction
Comfortable Care. Confident Smiles. Healthier Future.
At Dentistry Junior, we know that the thought of a tooth extraction can feel a little scary for both kids and parents. However sometimes, it’s the best step to protect your child’s long-term oral health. Whether due to deep decay, crowding or an injury, our expert pediatric dentists make every tooth extraction for kids a smooth and stress-free experience.
Our clinic is built for children with kid-friendly spaces, gentle hands and caring hearts. We make sure before tooth extraction your child is calm, comfortable and well cared for throughout the process.
When Do Kids Need Tooth Extractions?
While we always aim to save natural teeth, certain situations make extractions necessary to avoid further complications. Your child may need a tooth removed if they have:
Severe tooth decay beyond repair
Injury or trauma causing the tooth to break or shift
A failed root canal on a baby tooth
Crowding issues, especially before orthodontic treatment
Extra (supernumerary) teeth blocking permanent ones
In some cases, removing a baby tooth early helps create the space needed for permanent teeth to erupt properly. It’s all about setting the foundation for a healthy and aligned smile.
