Children's Tooth Extractions in Miami

We understand the thought of removing your child's tooth can be a worry. You can be confident that Dr. Paula Egharevba and our team at Adonias Smiles Dentistry in Miami are dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate care to ensure the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Informed Treatment Decisions

It’s important to understand that removing a tooth is not typically our first choice. Dr. Paula believes in informed decision-making and takes the time to discuss all available options with parents. We want to ensure you fully understand the reasons for her recommendation and feel confident in the proposed treatment plan.

Our dental team in Miami is here to support you and your child before, during, and after dental extraction. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call us at (786) 438-4744, and a friendly team member will be happy to assist you.

As a dentist who treats children in Miami, Dr. Paula may recommend tooth extraction for several reasons, including:

• Severe Tooth Decay — Extraction may be the best option when a tooth is too decayed to be saved.
• Infection or Abscess — To prevent the spread of infection, it may be necessary to remove the tooth.
• Overcrowding — Sometimes, we need to extract teeth to make room for permanent teeth or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
• Trauma — If a tooth is severely broken or damaged from an accident, we might recommend extraction.
• Wisdom Teeth — If wisdom teeth are impacted or cause overcrowding, removing them is usually the best option.

If Dr. Paula needs to remove a baby tooth, she will likely recommend a space maintainer to keep the gap open to ensure adult teeth have the space they need to emerge correctly.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Miami for Teens

As your child grows, their dental needs evolve. One common issue for teens is the development of wisdom teeth, also called third molars. These teeth are the last to emerge, so they often crowd existing teeth. In some cases, wisdom teeth don’t erupt at all and become fully or partially impacted (stuck in the gums). If your teen needs wisdom teeth extraction, Dr. Paula will refer you to an experienced oral surgeon in our area. 

Dr. Paula takes great care to ensure your child's extraction process is as comfortable as possible. She uses calming techniques to ease any anxiety and ensures a supportive environment for you and your child. Your child’s comfort is always our top priority.

She starts by gently numbing the area using a strong local anesthetic for a pain-free procedure. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help your child relax. Using an instrument called forceps Dr. Paula wiggles the tooth until it’s loose, then carefully removes it. Our dental team will provide post-extraction care instructions, including pain management and dietary recommendations, to ensure a smooth recovery.
