When is a Pediatric Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Children's tooth extractions are usually a last-resort procedure but may be required in certain situations.



  • Severe Dental Decay: If the tooth is damaged beyond repair for a crown or filling, an extraction may be necessary to stop the spread of infection.
  • Overcrowding: In cases of overcrowding, Dr. Seifi will recommend extractions to allow for proper alignment.
  • Impacted Teeth: A tooth can become stuck beneath the gumline if it is unable to properly erupt. It may be necessary to extract a tooth to allow for other teeth to grow correctly.
  • Abscess or Infection: If the abscess or infection cannot be treated by antibiotics or any other dental treatment, it may be necessary to remove the tooth to protect your child’s oral health.
  • Baby Teeth Not Falling Out in Time: Sometimes, baby teeth do not fall off on their own and delay the eruption of permanent teeth. Extraction can facilitate natural growth.

The Tooth Extraction Process

  1. Consultation: Dr. Seifi conducts a thorough exam of your child's mouth and takes any necessary x-rays in order to determine the condition of each tooth and the surrounding area. She will explain the procedure to you and your child.
  2. Sedation and Anesthesia: To ensure the comfort of your child, a local anesthetic is applied to numb any area surrounding the tooth. We offer sedation in the form of nitrous to calm children who are nervous or anxious.
  3. Tooth Extraction: Dr. Seifi and her team use specialized instruments and will remove the tooth with care and precision. This will minimize any discomfort and allow for a pain-free extraction. Our team will provide assistance at every stage of the procedure.
  4. After-Extraction Care: Our providers will give you detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site. These instructions may include advice on how to manage any discomfort or dietary suggestions, as well as tips for cleaning the extraction site in order to promote healing.
