When Are Children's Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Dr. Ivan typically only recommends a tooth extraction in certain situations, including:
- A tooth is too severely decayed, making it unrepairable.
- There’s not enough room in the mouth for a child to undergo orthodontic treatment.
- A tooth is severely infected or cracked and can’t be treated or repaired.
- A baby tooth hasn’t fallen out, leaving a permanent tooth stuck below the surface of the gumline.
If Dr. Ivan recommends a tooth extraction for your child, he will be sure to discuss why and whether there are alternative treatment options available. Our team’s top priority is to make sure that you feel confident and comfortable moving forward with your child’s treatment, which is why we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have throughout the process, so don’t be afraid to ask!
