Pediatric Tooth Extractions

Gentle Care for Problem Teeth

What This Service Is

Sometimes a baby or permanent tooth needs to be removed. Pediatric extractions are safe, gentle, and help prevent pain or dental problems while keeping your child’s smile healthy.

At Smile Avenue Dental Group, we provide Pediatric Tooth Extraction backed by over 20 years of clinical dental experience. Our team focuses on safety, comfort, and long-term results, using modern technology and personalized treatment planning to help patients restore their smiles with confidence.

Tooth Extraction

Pediatric tooth extractions involve carefully removing a tooth that is decayed, damaged, or causing crowding. Extractions may also be needed for teeth that are not coming in properly or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure your child is comfortable, and every step is taken to make the experience as stress-free as possible. After removal, the dentist provides guidance to promote healing and prevent complications.
