Initial Evaluation and X-Rays

he dentist will begin by thoroughly examining your child’s tooth and may take X-rays to assess the position, condition, and surrounding structures. This helps determine if an extraction is necessary and allows for a personalized treatment plan.

Numbing and Extraction

Once the decision is made to extract the tooth, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to ensure the area is completely numb. The tooth will then be carefully loosened and gently removed to minimize any discomfort.
