Tooth extractions may sound intimidating, but they are sometimes a necessary step in protecting a child’s oral health. Our office performs pediatric tooth extractions in Macomb, Michigan, with gentle techniques, clear communication and a focus on your child’s comfort. Whether due to severe decay, infection, trauma or orthodontic needs, our goal is to ensure the experience is positive and stress-free.
While baby teeth are meant to fall out naturally, there are cases where a tooth may need to be removed early to protect the health of surrounding teeth or to prepare for future development. Dr. Eric Tye , Dr. David Kolakowski and Dr. Tia VanSuilichem carefully evaluate each situation to determine the best course of action and help preserve your child’s long-term oral wellness.
When Tooth Extractions Are Needed
Pediatric extractions are typically recommended when a tooth:
- Is severely decayed or infected beyond repair
- Has experienced trauma that cannot be restored
- Is blocking the proper eruption of a permanent tooth
- Needs to be removed as part of orthodontic planning
Removing a baby tooth at the right time can prevent complications and support healthier development of the permanent teeth underneath.
Benefits of pediatric tooth extractions include:
- Relief from pain and infection
- Prevention of damage to nearby teeth or gums
- Improved alignment and spacing
- Reduced risk of oral health complications in the future
Our dentists will provide a clear explanation of the procedure, review aftercare instructions and answer any questions you or your child may have.
