Extractions
We do our best to avoid the need for extractions but sometimes an extraction is necessary.
Why would a child need to have a tooth extracted?
- Baby teeth may have long roots, which can prevent permanent teeth from erupting in the correct place and time.
- Baby teeth can become infected and may need to be removed to stop infection spreading.
- Because they are too big for the jaw, crooked or crowded teeth can be caused by excessive size. Some teeth might need to be extracted in order for orthodontic treatment to work.
Although most extractions can be completed quickly, some children might not want to undergo the procedure. We can provide information about sedation options if you are interested.

"My daughter loves going to see Dr. Alicia Michel. She's always so pleasant, kind, and gentle. The nurses at the front desk are also very nice. The wait is never long, the atmosphere is always bright, and the office is very clean. The toys at the end of the visit are the cherry on top! 😊"

“I took my kids today to see Dr. Michel and it was a great experience. Beginning with the friendly front desk staff and then the assistants and hygienist!! The entire staff is loving, patient and kind. Although my son was extremely anxious and uncooperative, Dr. Michel was patient and understanding and helped him overcome the moment and have a great checkup.
Very happy to have found this practice. Thanks ladies.”
