Gentle, Expert Tooth Removal for Children
At Pediatric Dentistry of Reston, our goal is always to preserve your child’s natural teeth—but sometimes, a tooth extraction is the healthiest option. Whether your child has a severely decayed tooth, a stubborn baby tooth that won’t fall out, or needs space for orthodontic treatment, Drs. Neda Kalantar, Zaidi and Fernandes provide gentle and stress-free extractions in a kid-friendly environment.
Located in Reston, VA, we specialize in making every dental experience positive—even when it involves removing a tooth.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Dr. Kalantar may recommend a pediatric dental extraction if your child has:
- A damaged or decayed tooth beyond repair
- Baby teeth that haven’t fallen out on time
- Overcrowding that impacts alignment or braces
- A tooth infection that cannot be resolved with other treatments
- Injury or trauma to a tooth that cannot be saved
Every case is unique. We’ll always walk you through your options and explain why extraction is recommended—so you feel confident in your child’s care.
What to Expect During a Pediatric Extraction
We take every measure to ensure your child feels safe and comfortable:
- Comprehensive Evaluation – Dr. Kalantar will assess the affected tooth and surrounding structures using digital X-rays if needed.
- Comfort First – We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options if appropriate, depending on your child’s age and anxiety level.
- Quick, Gentle Procedure – The extraction itself is done with precision and care, minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
- Post-Op Guidance – You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing and help your child feel better fast.
