Extraction of a baby tooth in children is a dental procedure that is sometimes necessary to ensure the proper development of permanent teeth and the overall health of the oral cavity. Baby teeth may need to be removed for various reasons, including infections, injuries, or delayed shedding.

Benefits of baby tooth extraction:

Prevention of infections: Removing damaged or infected baby teeth helps prevent the spread of infection to other teeth and tissues.
Creating space for permanent teeth: Extracting baby teeth when their shedding is delayed provides enough space for the eruption of permanent teeth.
Prevention of orthodontic problems: Proper removal of baby teeth helps prevent future issues with bite alignment and teeth positioning.

The baby tooth extraction procedure includes the following steps:

Consultation with a pediatric dentist
The first step involves a detailed examination of the child’s oral cavity, assessment of the teeth condition, and treatment planning. The dentist may perform necessary X-rays to determine the optimal approach for tooth extraction.

Anesthetic use
Local anesthetic is applied to ensure painless extraction and guarantee the child’s comfort during the procedure.

Tooth extraction
The dentist carefully removes the baby tooth using special instruments, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues.

Post-procedure care
After the extraction, the dentist provides recommendations for oral care. This includes advice on nutrition, hygiene, and ways to reduce discomfort following the procedure.

Preventive recommendations:

Regular oral hygiene: Brush teeth twice daily using fluoride toothpaste.

Balanced diet: Avoid excessive consumption of sweets and sugary drinks.

Regular dental visits: Preventive check-ups every six months to timely identify and treat any problems.
