At Cohen Family Smiles, we provide expert pediatric tooth extractions to safely remove severely decayed or problematic teeth in children. Whether a tooth is too damaged to restore or needs to be removed as part of orthodontic treatment, our gentle team ensures your child’s comfort throughout the procedure.
Why Are Pediatric Extractions Needed?
Extractions are often necessary for pediatric patients to address:
-
Teeth with extensive decay that cannot be restored
-
Orthodontic issues requiring removal of certain teeth to allow proper alignment
