At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that hearing your child may need a tooth extraction can feel overwhelming but sometimes it’s the healthiest choice for their smile. Our pediatric tooth extractions in Montclair, NJ, are performed with gentle techniques, modern tools, and a calm, caring approach to ensure comfort every step of the way.
While we always aim to save natural teeth when possible, extractions are sometimes necessary especially when a baby tooth is infected, preventing other teeth from erupting, or causing crowding. Removing a problematic tooth can help prevent pain, infection, or orthodontic issues in the future.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we make tooth extractions feel less scary. From clear communication to sedation options, we create a relaxed environment so your child feels safe and supported.

Tooth decay or injury can cause significant discomfort for your child. Pediatric tooth extractions can provide immediate relief from this pain, allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. Dr. Shah's gentle extraction process ensures minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
If a tooth is severely decayed, the infection can spread to other teeth and potentially lead to more serious health problems. Pediatric tooth extractions can halt the progression of decay, safeguarding your child's remaining teeth and overall oral health.
Overcrowded teeth can lead to misalignment issues. By extracting the necessary tooth or teeth, space is created for the remaining teeth to grow correctly. This can also make future orthodontic treatment simpler and more effective.
After the extraction, Dr. Shah will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a swift and smooth recovery. This includes advice on diet, oral hygiene, and activities to avoid. She will also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your child's healing process.
The first step in the tooth extraction process is a comprehensive dental examination. Dr. Shah will assess your child's oral health, discuss the reasons for extraction, and answer any questions you may have. She will also explain the procedure in detail to ensure you and your child are fully informed and comfortable.
During the extraction procedure, Dr. Shah uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring your child feels no pain. She then gently removes the tooth, taking care to minimize any discomfort. Your child's safety and comfort are her top priority throughout this process.
