Exceptional Pediatric Dentistry Supports Safe, Comfortable, Precision, and Efficient Tooth Removal

Dr. Mona Houshiar exclusively treats children. As such, she understands the unique needs of pediatric patients and is in the best possible position to provide safe, precise, and comfortable dental procedures. This approach supports the effective resolution of symptoms and underlying conditions, the most pleasant experience, and a lifetime of healthy, confident, highly functional smiles.

Dr. Mona monitors how children’s teeth and jaws develop during regular check-ups. From our office in Spring, Texas, Mona Dental for Kids, we can assess problems early when they are easiest to treat non-invasively and successfully. For instance, baby teeth should fall out naturally. Extractions may be identified as necessary when these baby or primary teeth interfere with natural, healthy development. After all, primary teeth are essential to the proper growth and alignment of permanent teeth.

With Dr. Mona planning and performing every aspect of the procedure, parents and caregivers have peace of mind that their child’s health, comfort, and safety are in exceptional hands. Furthermore, the process itself is straightforward, quick, and well-tolerated. Due to our use of precision local anesthetic and providing different options for sedation, your child will not feel anything nor have a care in the world. We are also happy to discuss the best options for relaxing sedation, as needed. Generally, tooth removal may be needed for children whose:

• Baby teeth are delayed in falling out naturally due to anatomical characteristics such as a long root
• Permanent teeth are beginning to surface through the gums unfavorably, presenting challenges to the baby teeth (the root doesn’t dissolve properly)
• Teeth have suffered from Early Childhood Caries or early-stage decay, which threatens the structural integrity of the tooth, its neighbors, and even the health of the bone in the jaw
• Mouths are not big enough to accommodate the healthy development of erupting teeth
• Teeth are infected, which can pose dangerous systemic threats to their overall health and well-being

Tooth removal is also appropriate for some patients who need braces or other forms of corrective orthodontics. Older children and young adults, too, may experience problems associated with their third molars or wisdom teeth. When these teeth do not develop correctly, impaction can produce intense discomfort and pressure, resulting in complications such as damage to neighboring teeth and cysts.
