Extractions

If your child is experiencing a dental emergency, please contact us at 317-329-7373. If your child is in severe pain, visit a 24/7 emergency office right away if we unavailable to assist you.

Our doctors may extract a tooth for a variety of reasons. In cases where infection or restoration of the tooth is in question, the option of extracting a tooth may be necessary to ensure the patients overall health. Some individuals may need extraction of permanent teeth and sometimes even baby teeth need to be extracted due to infection or spacing concerns.

Deciding the best treatment options for your child’s dental care is important for a long term healthy smile. Our doctors will consult with you regarding any health concerns, strive to ensure your child’s comfort, and ease any dental fears.

Note: In special cases an orthodontist may request the removal of permanent teeth to create better alignment of the permanent dentition. Our doctors can perform these procedures at the request of your orthodontic specialist.
