When most people think about tooth extractions, they might not think about their children\u2019s teeth.

Find out more about when your child should have a tooth extracted with help from your Tampa, FL dentist, Dr. Toan Tran at Mangrove Bay Dentistry.<\/p>\n
Primary teeth, commonly known as \u201cbaby\u201d or \u201cmilk\u201d teeth, usually do not need extraction. However, it may be necessary in some situations. Those situations include:<\/p>\n
Pulling baby teeth does not correct crowding. Issues such as over or under crowding, bite issues like overbite or underbite and heavily misaligned teeth require orthodontic treatment like braces. Your dentist can help you determine an effective treatment plan for your child.<\/p>\n

\nA strong at-home oral care routine is crucial to your child\u2019s healthy teeth. Be sure they brush at least twice daily for at least two minutes with a soft toothbrush. Replace the toothbrush as soon as it begins to show signs of wear, usually after about a month. Floss at least once daily, using a new strand of floss for each quadrant of the mouth. This cuts down on the transfer of bacteria between areas of the mouth. Finally, be sure your child sees their dentist for a regular dental examination and cleaning at least twice a year to keep their teeth and gums healthy.<\/p>\n
