Extractions | The Children's Dental Centre

Supporting Your Child’s Oral Health

In some cases, removing a tooth may be the safest and most effective way to protect your child’s overall health. If an infection or injury puts their surrounding teeth or developing smile at risk, extraction can help prevent further complications.

At The Children’s Dental Centre, our focus is on creating a healthy foundation for lifelong oral health. During your child’s dental exam, our team of certified paediatric specialists will carefully assess whether an extraction is needed or if another approach may be more appropriate.

We invite you to visit us for a thorough evaluation and personalized care plan.

Reasons for Tooth Removal

Paediatric extractions are typically recommended only when the tooth cannot be restored or safely maintained. This decision is made with your child’s comfort, development, and long-term dental health in mind.

Common reasons for extraction include:

Trauma or injury
Advanced tooth decay
Crowding that affects alignment
Infection
Gum disease

What Parents Can Expect

We know that dental procedures can feel stressful, especially when they involve your child. That’s why we take the time to explain each step clearly and create a supportive environment from start to finish.

If your child requires a tooth extraction, we will review what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Our paediatric dental team is trained to manage discomfort and ease anxiety, both for children and for parents, so you can feel confident your child is in capable, compassionate hands.
