Tooth Extractions

Our specialist paediatric dental team are committed to providing expert, compassionate care for children, including when tooth extractions are necessary. We understand that the thought of having a tooth removed can be daunting for both children and parents, which is why we strive to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Why Might a Child Need a Tooth Extraction?

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When cavities are too extensive to be treated with fillings or crowns.
  • Infections or Abscesses: To prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth or gums.
  • Orthodontic Preparation: Creating space to allow proper alignment of permanent teeth during orthodontic treatment.
  • Impacted Teeth: Removing teeth that cannot emerge properly due to crowding or positioning.
  • Trauma: Addressing teeth that are fractured or damaged beyond repair.

At 78MPR, our specialist paediatric dentist, Dr Mohsin Chaudhary has extensive experience in performing tooth extractions with a gentle and child-centred approach. We prioritise your child’s comfort and well-being at every stage, from the initial consultation to post-extraction care.

  • Comprehensive Assessment: We will carefully examine your child’s teeth and gums, using advanced imaging technology if necessary, to determine the best course of action.
  • Preparation and Explanation: Our team will explain the procedure in age-appropriate language to help your child feel at ease and answer any questions you may have.
  • Gentle Extraction: Using modern techniques and equipment, we ensure the procedure is as quick and painless as possible. Local anaesthesia and, when needed, sedation options are available to maximise comfort.
  • Aftercare Guidance: We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to support your child’s healing and recovery, ensuring they return to their daily activities quickly.

We understand that dental visits can sometimes feel intimidating for children. Our practice is designed to create a calm and welcoming environment, helping children feel safe and relaxed. Our friendly team specialises in working with children and takes the time to build trust, so every visit is a positive one.
