Tooth Extractions in Fairfax, VA

Tooth extraction refers to the removal of teeth from the mouth. Dr. Floyd will always try to restore your child’s teeth that have been broken or destroyed by decay with a filling or crown. However,if the damage is too great to repair, your pediatric dentist may recommend an extraction. A dental extraction may be required due to severe tooth decay, infection,crowding, or simply the baby tooth overstaying its time in the mouth.

Types of treatments

Simple Extraction: Simple extractions are common when a tooth is visible and can be extracted as a whole. The tooth will first be loosened with an elevator by our dentist before being extracted with forceps.
Surgical Extraction: Sometimes, the tooth gets broken off below the gum line or is not fully accessible in the mouth. In such cases, your child may need to be seen by an oral surgeon for the extraction.
