Tooth Extractions in Roslyn Heights
What is a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the complete removal of a tooth from its position in the mouth.
At Dental Associates for Kids Only, LLP, our experienced team prioritizes preserving natural teeth whenever possible. However, in certain cases—such as severe damage or overcrowding—removing a tooth becomes necessary to protect overall oral health.
Extractions are typically done with local anesthesia and involve minimal discomfort. Using precise tools, the tooth is gently loosened and lifted from the socket. The procedure is usually fast and well-tolerated by young patients.

Extractions
Removing a problematic tooth can bring fast relief and prevent bigger dental concerns. Extractions can:
- Alleviate pain caused by damaged or infected teeth
- Eliminate sources of infection or recurring problems
- Create space in cases of crowding
- Shield healthy teeth from spreading decay
- Support proper bite development and jaw alignment
Who Might Need a Tooth Extraction?
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, there are times when an extraction is the best path forward. In pediatric dentistry, we may recommend removing a tooth in cases such as:
- Severe decay beyond repair
- Injury or trauma causing irreversible damage
- Making room for incoming permanent teeth
- Preparing for orthodontic treatment to improve alignment
- Tooth removal is only considered after exploring all other restorative options.
