“Extracting a baby tooth at the right time is a preventive measure that protects the child's future oral health.”
Dra. Cecília Miranda
Extractions of primary teeth
Baby tooth extractions are necessary procedures in cases of infection, intense pain, trauma or retention that may affect the eruption of the permanent teeth.
This intervention is fundamental to preserve the harmony and balance of the child's dentition.
Extraction of Primary Teeth at GSC Dental Clinic
At Gambelas Smile Clinic, every tooth extraction is performed by experienced paediatric dentists, in a welcoming environment.
Whenever necessary, we use additional conscious sedation methods, for greater safety and tranquillity even in the most anxious cases.
The treatment includes a detailed assessment, careful removal of the tooth and simple post-operative recommendations for parents, ensuring safety.
More than an extraction, this care allows avoiding future complications, keeping oral health balanced and preparing the ground for the correct eruption of the permanent teeth.

Symptoms treated with Extractions of Primary Teeth
Advanced early tooth decay
The progression of decay can result in pain, infection, dental destruction and early loss of baby teeth.
Dental trauma (chipped, displaced)
Dental trauma can cause pain, fracture, mobility, tooth discolouration and injuries to the oral tissues.
Dental abscess
An abscess can cause intense pain, swelling, fever, pus and risk of infection spreading.
Tooth that does not fall out naturally
Prolonged retention of the baby tooth can make the eruption of the permanent tooth difficult and favour misalignments.
