Need for Baby Teeth Removal
The symptoms indicating a need for baby teeth removal include:
- Overcrowding: When permanent teeth begin to erupt, they may push against baby teeth, causing overcrowding.
- Difficulty in eating: Decayed or loose baby teeth can cause discomfort or pain while eating.
- Delayed shedding: Sometimes, baby teeth don’t fall out on their own, hindering the proper eruption of permanent teeth.
- Visible decay: Severe decay can affect the health of adjacent teeth and gums, necessitating removal.
If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, visit our experts at Chintamani Dental Home for a gentle and professional baby teeth removal in Karad.
The Process of Baby Teeth Removal:
Baby teeth removal is a straightforward procedure, typically performed in a single visit. The process involves the following steps:
Your child’s dentist will first perform a thorough examination, which may include X-rays to assess the position of the baby teeth and the underlying permanent teeth.
To ensure your child’s comfort, a local anesthetic is administered to numb the area around the tooth being removed.
The dentist will gently loosen the tooth with specialized tools and carefully remove it.
After the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and a gauze pad is placed to control any bleeding. You will be given instructions for at-home care to ensure proper healing.
We understand that, as parents, the thought of extracting the tooth of your child might make you anxious, but rest assured as at Chintamani Dental Home. Our pediatric dentists specializes in taking care of your child's oral health and is dedicated to making the process pain-free and comfortable for your child.
