At Summirow Dental Hospital, extraction is never the first option, but sometimes, it’s the wisest. While baby teeth are meant to fall out naturally, certain conditions may require a professional dental extraction to protect your child’s long-term oral health.
We recommend extraction only after careful evaluation and when other treatments aren’t viable. Common reasons include:
When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown.
When milk teeth don’t fall out on time and block the eruption of permanent teeth.
In cases where an infection is spreading or causes pain despite antibiotics or other treatments.
To create space for proper alignment during future orthodontic treatment.
Baby teeth that stay too long can interfere with the healthy development of adult teeth.
Rarely, teeth present at birth (natal or neonatal teeth) may need removal if they pose a risk to the baby's feeding or safety.
When an injury causes damage beyond repair.
Not always but yes, in most cases where a milk tooth is lost early and the permanent tooth isn’t ready to erupt, we recommend using a space maintainer. This simple appliance helps avoid misalignment and future complications.
If you’re unsure whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is right for you, our implant specialists will guide you through a personalized assessment and digital treatment planning process.
No. We ensure complete comfort using local anesthesia and nitrous oxide (laughing gas), if needed.
It may lead to infections, pain, crowding, or damage to the incoming permanent tooth.
Yes, but only soft, non-spicy food for the first 24 hours. Avoid hot and crunchy food.
