Milk teeth removal in Krakow

Our specialists will provide a comfortable atmosphere, painless removal of a baby tooth in a child and a professional approach, which is especially important for building trust in the dentist.

Indications for removal of a baby tooth

Extraction of a baby tooth is performed only in cases where its preservation may harm the health of the oral cavity or disrupt the correct development of the bite. The decision to extract a baby tooth or leave it is based on the clinical situation and the dentist’s recommendation.

The main cases in which it may be necessary to remove baby teeth:

1. Acute odontogenic infection (originating from the tooth) that is not amenable to conservative treatment and threatens the rudiment of a permanent tooth or when the rudiment of a permanent tooth is damaged.
2. Chronic granulating periodontitis that does not respond to treatment.
3. Milk teeth present in the oral cavity of a newborn.
4. If a baby tooth does not fall out and remains in the jaw until the age of 13-15 in the presence of the rudiments of permanent teeth.
5. A baby tooth with a permanent one erupting.
6. Pulpitis or periodontitis in the stage of root resorption (at 7-8 years old).
7. Tooth root fracture.
8. Spread of infection to the inter-root space or the rudiment of a permanent tooth.
9. Supernumerary or severely displaced teeth.
10. Diagnosis of fistula in the projection of roots.
11. Signs of abnormal resorption of the roots of a baby tooth, detected on x-ray images.
12. Difficulties in the eruption of a permanent tooth due to the remaining milk element of the dentition.
13. A pronounced pathological displacement of a baby tooth in the dental row.

The decision on the need to remove a baby tooth is always made individually.

The process of removing a baby tooth at the Dynasty Stomatology clinic

Many parents ask themselves: how does a child’s tooth extraction take place? At Dynasty Stomatology, a tooth can be extracted without pain and tears, since local anesthesia is used. The procedure for extracting baby teeth is as gentle and comfortable for the child as possible.

Our doctors follow a clear sequence of actions to minimize stress, ensure safety and avoid complications:

1. Extraction of a baby tooth using special forceps that protect the rudiment of the permanent tooth from excessive pressure.
2. Antiseptic treatment of the wound at the site of the extracted tooth.
3. After the dentist has removed the extracted tooth from the socket, he checks to see if all the roots have been completely removed and then leaves a cotton swab in the socket to stop the bleeding.

Extraction of a baby tooth is a simple procedure, especially the removal of a loose baby tooth if the root has already begun to dissolve. The average time for extracting a baby tooth is 10-20 minutes.

After the baby tooth has been removed, the dentist will give detailed instructions on how to care for the socket to ensure a quick recovery.

What to do after removing a baby tooth?

After tooth extraction, it is important to ensure comfortable and safe recovery for the child. The main recommendations for this period are:

• Do not eat or drink hot drinks for 1-2 hours;
• Do not rinse your mouth on the day of the tooth extraction procedure to avoid disrupting the formation of a blood clot;
• avoid active games and physical activity during the day;
• do not warm the cheek or apply anything hot;
• if necessary, apply cold to the cheek (through a cloth) for 10-15 minutes to reduce pain after the removal of a baby tooth;
• do not touch the hole with your tongue or hands;
• in case of pain, you can give the child a pain reliever recommended by the doctor;
• If swelling occurs after tooth extraction in a child, fever or severe bleeding occurs, consult a dentist immediately.

Proper care of the socket after tooth extraction will help avoid complications and speed up healing.

When to Avoid Removing Baby Teeth

Whether or not baby teeth need to be removed is always determined individually. However, the procedure should be abandoned in the following cases:

• during infectious diseases (chickenpox, whooping cough, flu, acute respiratory viral infections);
• if the child has untreated inflammation in the oral cavity (stomatitis, gingivitis);
• if the child has diseases associated with blood clotting (hemophilia, leukemia), or serious diseases such as epilepsy, heart defects.

Early removal of baby teeth: consequences

Before the replacement of baby teeth with permanent ones, their extraction is recommended only for strict indications, when it is impossible to save the tooth, for example, if caries has completely destroyed the tissue. This is due to the possible negative consequences of premature removal of baby teeth:

• poor chewing of food;
• developing a strong habit of chewing only with the front teeth (in case of loss of chewing teeth) or only with one side;
• malocclusion, which can develop as a result of tooth extraction in childhood, which can lead to pathological processes in the formation of the temporomandibular joint;
• development of lisping;
• The removal of front baby teeth is perceived as a serious aesthetic defect.

That is why it is important to treat baby teeth in a timely manner to prevent their destruction. If several baby teeth are removed prematurely, this can cause serious damage to the bite and lead to deformation of the jaw, displacement of adjacent teeth, and lack of space for a permanent tooth.
