At Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania, pediatric tooth extraction may be suggested if your child has teeth that are potentially problematic, cannot be restored, or are not necessary to restore. Additionally, tiny teeth may need to be extracted for orthodontic treatment. Your child may be frightened about the procedure itself, but it is our promise to make him or her as comfortable as possible.
Prior to the surgery, one of our doctors will take an X-ray of the patient’s mouth. The X-ray allows the doctor to determine the severity of the tooth’s damage. If it’s been determined that a tooth cannot be repaired, you will need to schedule an appointment for extraction. Once sedation options are discussed, one of our doctors will use the appropriate tools to extract the tooth. When the procedure is complete, it is critical that your child obeys post-op instructions such as changing the gauze when necessary and feasting on only soft foods for the first 24 hours.
If you have questions about pediatric tooth extraction, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.oralsurgerypa.com for more information.
