When a Tooth Just Has to Go: Children’s Tooth Extractions in Bentley
Gentle care for a not-so-fun moment
Sometimes, a baby tooth just won’t budge. Other times, decay or trauma means a tooth has to come out to protect the rest of your child’s smile. We know that hearing “tooth extraction” can cause worry for both kids and parents — but at Bentley Family Dentistry, we make it as simple, gentle, and stress-free as possible.
Why children sometimes need tooth extractions
Most baby teeth fall out naturally, but sometimes they hang on too long or get in the way of adult teeth coming in properly. In other cases, severe decay, infection, or damage from an injury means a tooth needs to be removed to avoid long-term problems.
Common reasons for pediatric extractions include:
Severely decayed baby teeth
Over-retained teeth (baby teeth that won’t fall out)
Orthodontic planning (making space for future alignment)
Trauma or injury
Whatever the reason, we’ll walk you through it step by step, answer all your questions, and make sure your child feels safe, calm, and supported throughout.
How we make tooth extractions easier for kids (and parents)
At Bentley Family Dentistry, we take a calm, patient-first approach to every procedure — especially when it involves kids. We use simple language, take our time, and talk directly to your child so they feel included and empowered. No surprises. No pressure. No “just tough it out.”
If your child is especially anxious or sensitive, we can also offer gentle sedation options to help them relax. Our goal? To make the experience so smooth they barely remember it happened.
What to expect during a pediatric tooth extraction
Pre-visit chat: We’ll review the reason for the extraction and go over any X-rays or concerns you may have.
Comfort first: We use local anesthetic and, if needed, child-friendly sedation to ensure a pain-free experience.
Gentle removal: The tooth is carefully removed with techniques tailored for kids — quick and simple.
Aftercare support: We’ll send you home with clear aftercare instructions, soft food suggestions, and how to keep healing on track.
Most kids bounce back quickly — especially with a little ice cream and some TLC.
