What Is Milk Tooth Extraction?

Milk tooth extraction is a controlled procedure performed when a baby tooth is too decayed, infected, loose, or positioned in a way that interferes with the eruption of a permanent tooth. It is done to protect oral health and ensure proper dental development.

When Is It Necessary?

• Severely decayed baby teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or pulpotomy

• Retained baby teeth delaying the eruption of permanent teeth

• Trauma-induced loose, broken, or infected primary teeth

• As part of an orthodontic treatment plan

• To prevent infection from spreading to nearby teeth or tissues

How Is the Extraction Performed?

1. The child’s age and cooperation level are assessed

2. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area

3. The tooth is gently removed using pediatric-specific tools

4. If needed, a space maintainer is planned

5. Post-op instructions are given to both the child and parents

Yes. Pediatric dentists are trained to perform extractions using age-appropriate tools and behavioral techniques. At DentMax, all extractions are done in child-friendly treatment rooms for a calm and painless experience.

What Should Be Considered After the Procedure?

• Avoid eating or drinking for the first 1–2 hours

• Stay away from hot foods and beverages on the same day

• Watch out for accidental biting of the tongue or lips while numb

• Maintain gentle oral hygiene

• Use of a space maintainer may be advised
