The initial consultation is an essential first step in the pediatric tooth extraction process. During this visit, Dr. Matt will conduct a thorough examination of your child's oral health using the latest dental technology. This includes digital X-rays to gain a detailed view of the tooth structure and surrounding areas. This step helps determine the necessity of tooth extraction and plan the best course of action for your child's dental health.
On the day of the extraction, Dr. Matt and his team ensure your child is comfortable and relaxed. Local anesthetic will be used to numb the area, and depending on the complexity of the extraction and your child's comfort level, sedation options may be used. The tooth is then carefully extracted, ensuring minimal discomfort to the child. Throughout the procedure, the team continuously monitors your child's well-being, making adjustments as necessary.
Post-extraction care is crucial for a smooth recovery. Dr. Matt will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your child's oral health post-extraction, including guidance on diet and oral hygiene practices. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure there are no complications.
