While we always aim to preserve natural teeth, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest option for your child. Reasons might include:
Severe tooth decay or infection
Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontics
A stubborn baby tooth that won’t fall out on its own
Dental trauma or injury
We take a calm, step-by-step approach to ensure your child feels safe and supported:
Numbing the area with local anesthesia
Gently loosening and removing the tooth
Providing aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery
Most extractions are quick and completed in one visit.

For nervous or anxious children, we offer mild sedation options to help them feel relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. We’ll discuss all available options with you in advance.
We provide clear post-op instructions, including how to manage discomfort, what foods to avoid, and when to return for follow-up care. Most kids recover quickly and are back to their routine within a day or two. At Harrison Pediatric Dentistry, we aim to make every step—from treatment to healing—as smooth as possible.
We’re honored to serve the next generation of healthy, confident smiles. Whether it’s your child’s first appointment or their next routine checkup, we’re here to help.
