Extractions

Extractions of teeth:

Other than numbness, your child might complain of some dull discomfort.
We recommend Motrin to help with the pain. We like Motrin because it has longer pain mitigation properties and less chance for liver/drug interactions in larger doses.
Bleeding is normal for extractions, with bigger extraction sites oozing can happen up to 12 hours.
Try not to change gauzes too often. We like to preserve the blood clot and if it changes too often this can cause unintentional dislodge of the clot.
The same goes for the use of straws and suction motions. Try to abstain from these for 2-3 days unless otherwise advised.

Extractions of loose baby teeth:

If a tooth is loose, we often just use oral-gel to numb up the gum area so there should be little to no sensation of numbness.
Bleeding should be minimal and will clot very easily.
Have your child bite on gauze for 10-15 minutes post-treatment.
Minimal pain is expected, but you are welcome to give your child Motrin/Tylenol if they complain of discomfort.

      The staff is all tailored to every child’s needs. I have watched them provide excellent service to not only my 4 children for the last 13 years but any child that is in there. I bring 4 wild children in at the same time everytime and although they are grown to not being running wild anymore, when they were they understood and were respectful. They are a well oiled machine and dr. NGO is amazing. They are gentle and allow the children a safe place to take it all in. This place will not traumatize your children. As we know the dentist isn’t fun. This place is fun. Thank you kids focus. One happy mom
