Tooth Extractions For Kids in Buda

Why Teeth Might Need to Be Extracted

There are a few key reasons why your child's teeth may need to be removed:

• Trauma: Sometimes a tooth gets damaged beyond repair due to an accident or injury.
• Overcrowding: When teeth are too close together, it can make cleaning difficult, leading to plaque buildup and potential dental issues. Overcrowded baby teeth can also interfere with the proper alignment of permanent teeth.
• Infection: A severe tooth infection can cause significant pain and pose a risk to your child’s overall health. Extracting the affected tooth can stop the infection from spreading and provide relief.
  

Tooth Extraction Aftercare

Children typically recover quickly from tooth extractions. They may experience some tenderness, similar to a bruise, for a couple of days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. In cases of more severe discomfort after a difficult extraction, the dentist may prescribe stronger medication. Most children are fully recovered within 7-14 days.
