Tooth Extractionsin Madisonville, LA
When a tooth needs to come out, we make it as stress-free and pain-free as possible—with experienced care, comforting amenities, and sedation options tailored to your child.
What is an Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be restored due to damage, decay, or crowding. At Todd S. Brasuell Pediatric Dentistry, we only recommend extractions when they’re truly necessary and when they benefit your child’s long-term oral health. Whether we’re addressing a baby tooth that won’t fall out on its own or removing a tooth due to infection or orthodontic concerns, our goal is to make the experience as smooth and painless as possible. With gentle techniques, kid-friendly communication, and sedation options when needed, your child is in good hands at our practice.
The Benefits of Extractions
While we always aim to preserve your child’s natural teeth, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest option. Extractions can relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, and allow for better alignment and development of permanent teeth.
Fast Relief from Pain or Infection
Removing a problematic tooth can help resolve discomfort and stop infections before they spread to neighboring teeth.
Prevents Future Orthodontic Issues
Early removal of baby teeth that aren’t falling out on schedule can make room for healthy adult teeth to come in properly.
Sedation Options for Peace of Mind
We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to ensure your child feels relaxed and safe during the procedure.
