The proper development of your child’s permanent teeth starts with the timely extraction of a baby tooth. We perform extractions gently, quickly, and with your little one’s comfort in mind.
Baby tooth extraction is a simple and effective way to prevent pain, inflammation and problems during the eruption of permanent teeth. If the baby tooth has not fallen out on its own or is damaged, its removal helps to ensure the correct development of the teeth. The procedure is quick and, thanks to local anesthesia, almost painless.
The dentist will first assess the condition of the baby tooth, the surrounding tissues, and check whether extraction is necessary – for example, if the tooth did not fall out naturally, is loose, has decay, or is preventing the eruption of a permanent tooth.
The dentist will simply explain to the child how the baby tooth extraction will take place so that they feel calm and safe.
If necessary, the dentist applies surface anesthesia (gel) or injectable local anesthesia to make the procedure painless.
Then, he or she gently loosens and pulls out the tooth using a special instrument. The entire process of baby tooth extraction is quick and takes only a few minutes.
After the tooth is extracted, the dentist will cover the area with sterile gauze and give you instructions on how to care for the gum at home, including when your child can eat and how to avoid irritating the wound.
If necessary, the dentist will schedule an additional visit to check whether the wound is healing well and whether the permanent tooth has enough space to erupt.

Baby tooth extraction is necessary if the tooth has not fallen out naturally, is severely damaged by decay, causes pain, or prevents the growth of a permanent tooth.
None or only slightly. Baby tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia, so the child feels only slight pressure or pull.
In most cases, the wound will heal within a few days. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions, especially regarding diet and oral hygiene.
Yes, but only after the numbness has worn off to avoid biting the tongue or cheek. Soft and lukewarm foods are recommended during the first day.
It is enough if the child does not rinse his mouth, does not eat hard foods, and does not touch the area with his tongue or fingers for a few hours after the procedure. If necessary, the dentist can recommend antiseptic mouthwashes suitable for children.
Yes, as long as you feel well. However, rest is recommended on the day of the procedure, especially if anesthesia was used.
If the extraction of a baby tooth has been carried out without complications, no further check-up is usually necessary. If a problem is suspected or to monitor the growth of permanent teeth, the doctor may recommend an additional check-up visit.
