As a rule, baby teeth fall out on their own. This happens around the age of six. Due to their important function as a placeholder for permanent teeth, attempts are made to save baby teeth in case of caries or other damage. However, if baby teeth happen to be too inflamed or decayed, the crown of the baby tooth can often no longer help save the tooth. In such cases, the only option is to extract the baby tooth. This is necessary to protect the subsequent, permanent tooth from caries bacteria and inflammation.
It is quite possible that the disease can transfer to the permanent tooth and damage it. This can lead to tooth deformation or root breakage.
In some cases, it may even happen that the baby tooth is denser than usual, and therefore the next tooth cannot erupt. In this case, the pediatric dentist of the SA-NATA clinic can also help by extracting baby teeth from a child to make room for permanent teeth. We use computer anesthesia to perform the extraction so that your child does not feel any pain. The procedure will take only a few minutes, and your baby will be able to go home with you.
Removal of baby teeth in Kyiv is an extreme measure that we perform at the dental clinic "SA-NATA". Baby teeth in children fall out on their own in the process of natural transformation into permanent teeth.
