Extractions (Tooth Removal)

Tooth extractions are performed as a last resort at Chompers, typically in cases of severe tooth decay, at the request of an orthodontist, or when a baby tooth stubbornly refuses to fall out on its own. When a primary molar is removed prematurely, a space maintainer is placed to ensure proper spacing for the permanent teeth. This is crucial for maintaining the correct alignment and preventing future orthodontic issues.

Extractions may also be necessary for orthodontic reasons, particularly to help facilitate tooth alignment in cases of crowded teeth. Primary teeth play a crucial role in maintaining the correct spacing in your child’s jaw, which is essential for the proper alignment of their permanent teeth. By removing a problematic tooth, we can help create the space needed for other teeth to align correctly, improving overall dental health and aesthetics.

At Chompers, we strive to preserve your child's natural teeth whenever possible. However, when extractions are necessary, our team ensures that the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We provide detailed instructions and support to help your child recover quickly and maintain good oral hygiene during the healing process. Our goal is to support your child's long-term dental health and make the experience as positive as possible.

After an extraction, we monitor the healing process and provide follow-up care to ensure everything progresses smoothly. We also discuss any further treatments or preventive measures that may be needed to maintain your child's dental health. Our commitment to comprehensive care ensures that every aspect of your child's dental needs is addressed with the utmost care and professionalism.

We understand that the thought of an extraction can be concerning for both parents and children. That's why we take the time to explain the procedure, answer any questions, and provide a supportive environment throughout the entire process. At Chompers, your child's comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
