There are a number of reasons why a child's tooth may need to be extracted. Sometimes a tooth is actively causing the patient pain and problems, and sometimes it's a preventative measure to keep any potential problems from happening. Crowding the other teeth and causing damage, growing in incorrectly, tooth decay, and orthodontic treatment plans are all common reasons for teeth removal. Our team can examine your child's teeth and X-rays to determine if one or more teeth need to be removed.
