What is a Tooth Extraction?

We understand that tooth extractions can be a concern for both parents and children, and we are here to help. Our dental practice specializes in pediatric dentistry and offers expert care for tooth extractions when necessary. Let's explore what tooth extractions are and how we can assist you and your child.


A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, impacted, or causing overcrowding. While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, tooth extractions may become necessary to maintain the overall oral health and alignment of your child's teeth. Our team will evaluate your child's dental condition and recommend a tooth extraction if it is deemed the best course of action.

How we can help

At Little Roots Pediatric Dental in Westbury, NY, we prioritize the oral health and well-being of your child. Here's how we can assist you and your child when it comes to tooth extractions:


Expert Pediatric Dentist: Dr. Jessica Barzideh and Dr. Sunaina Vohra is a highly skilled pediatric dentist with expertise in performing tooth extractions for children. His gentle approach and experience ensure that the procedure is safe, comfortable, and successful.


Customized Treatment Plans: We understand that each child's dental situation is unique. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child's dental condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. We will explain the benefits of the tooth extraction, discuss any alternatives if applicable, and guide you in making informed decisions about your child's oral care.


State-of-the-Art Facilities: Our dental practice in Westbury, NY, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced dental technology. We provide a clean and child-friendly environment, ensuring that your child feels comfortable and at ease during their visit.


Pain Management: We prioritize your child's comfort throughout the tooth extraction procedure. Our team uses gentle techniques and may provide local anesthesia or sedation if necessary to ensure a pain-free experience. We will also provide post-extraction care instructions to promote a smooth recovery.


Preserving Oral Health: In some cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary to preserve the overall oral health of your child. Removing severely decayed or infected teeth can prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, reducing the risk of further complications.


Orthodontic Alignment: Tooth extractions may be recommended as part of an orthodontic treatment plan to create space for proper tooth alignment. By addressing overcrowding or impacted teeth, we can help ensure your child's teeth develop correctly, improving their bite and overall oral health.


By choosing Little Roots Pediatric Dental in Westbury, NY, you can trust that your child's tooth extraction will be handled with utmost care and expertise. We prioritize their comfort and oral well-being, providing comprehensive care and ensuring a positive experience throughout the process.
