Extractions

There can be multiple reasons why a tooth can’t be saved and needs to be pulled:

• A root canal does not remove all of the problem areas
• An emerging tooth does not appear in the correct location
• An emerging tooth can cause crowding

We know no one wants the tooth fairy to visit at the wrong time, but if a tooth extraction is needed, isn’t it nice to know it can be done right here with Dr. Gerstmann, instead of by a stranger in a strange office? We will explain the entire process, step-by-step, to both you and your child so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after the extraction.
