Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a baby tooth needs to be removed for the child's overall dental health. At Care & Cure, extractions are performed gently with the child's comfort as the top priority.

Signs your child may need this treatment

  • Severe decay that cannot be treated with a filling
  • Infection or abscess around a tooth
  • A baby tooth that is not falling out naturally and blocking the permanent tooth
  • Tooth fracture or injury
  • Recommended as part of orthodontic planning

Why this treatment matters

A tooth may need extraction if it is severely decayed, infected, or preventing proper development of permanent teeth. Removing the tooth helps relieve pain, prevent infection spread and allow normal dental development.

How we keep your child comfortable

The child is prepared for the procedure using age-appropriate explanations. Throughout the extraction, the team maintains a calm, reassuring presence.

Each step is explained clearly to parents before proceeding.
