Although losing their primary teeth is part of every child’s growth and development, we do our best to avoid removing a tooth whenever possible. We consider every option, including pulp therapy and gum disease therapy, to save your child’s natural teeth and only recommend an extraction when one is beyond salvage or could endanger other oral structures. If your child needs to have a tooth removed, you can rest assured that our team will walk you both through the process and make sure they are comfortable, during tooth extractions in Katy, TX, from beginning to end.
