Our specialized child tooth extraction dentist uses a painless approach for numbing the area to ensure your child is calm throughout the procedure.

When Should a Child Have Tooth Extraction?

Several common reasons may call for child tooth extraction, including failure of baby teeth to fall out, infections, and crowding problems.

Failure of Teeth to Fall Out

Baby tooth removal becomes essential for your child when a permanent tooth grows behind the primary tooth instead of pushing up from under the primary tooth. Often, this prevents the primary tooth from falling out on its own. Our expert dentist ensures the best dental care during your child’s tooth extraction procedure.

Infection

Under the hard layer of your child’s teeth lies a soft substance called the dental pulp. Dental trauma or deep cavities can damage dental pulp, causing an infection. Toddler tooth extraction is the only solution when the infection gets worse. 

If your child experiences tooth sensitivity, pain, redness, and swelling, schedule an appointment with our dentist for a checkup. KoP Dental™ provides immediate treatment depending on the severity of infection to relieve pain. If child tooth extraction is needed, we will make the process as quick and easy as possible. 

Crowding Issues

Baby tooth removal becomes necessary when primary teeth are crowded together, preventing permanent teeth from coming in. Sometimes, two baby teeth are crowded in the space of one permanent tooth. If one tooth falls out but the replacement tooth cannot erupt properly due to the other baby teeth, child tooth extraction is needed. Crowding issues are present with permanent teeth as well, requiring surgical removal.

I have severe anxiety from a dental experience in the military and have had panic attacks in a dental office so bad that I’ve passed out. I am so very thankful that I found this practice!! The dental assistants are AMAZING and the dentists are PHENOMENAL! I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist office as I am here. They are so compassionate, caring and understanding.I’ve been to other practices where they have no regard for your comfort and could care less about your anxiety over dental work. I had one dentist at another practice literally shove a tool into a cavity on a tooth that I was already feeling pain in, this was after I politely asked that he just not touch that tooth without it being numbed first. He actually yelled at me that he couldn’t “treat” me unless he could feel how deep the cavity was. It sent a ridiculous pain right through my jaw and I literally got up and said no f’ing way I’m staying here. I ended up at KOP for that tooth and the experience was night and day different.I have had both Dr. Soffin and Dr. Pickel and they are the best. They are very cognizant of your comfort, pain level and the work they do is excellent. Both are super nice gentlemen. It is very relieving knowing that I can finally get the dental treatments I need without having the anxiety that I used to.

Highly highly recommend. Came in this morning for a root canal. Novocain does not work for me and I cannot tolerate nitrous oxide. To say I was anxious would be an understatement.

Highly highly recommend. Came in this morning for a root canal. Novocain does not work for me and I cannot tolerate nitrous oxide. To say I was anxious would be an understatement. Dr Soffin really took his time with me to do some troubleshooting before ultimately deciding a root canal wasn't the way to go (thank god). He really took his time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. He called in Dr Rapine for a second opinion and not only did he agree with Dr Soffin, he also offered some new insights. You can tell these guys are pros at what they do. I felt cared for and listened to. Shout out to Jo Ann, the dental assistant who I can only describe as the 'emotional support lady' I needed. You guys were awesome!

The office staff is very friendly and welcoming. Checking in and out were very easy and organized. Dr. Neuman is very personable as well as a great dentist. This was my first visit to this office and will definitely be back.

Friendly staff and great service. Unlike most dental offices you are treated like a person and not as a number to hit revenue goals. Will recommend this office to anyone

Amazing practice from the woman who answered the phone to the woman who said goodbye after the visit! I was in pain and scared to go, they were the kindest and most understanding group I have been around in a long time. Work is complete and I have found a new dentist.
