At Lil’ Dente, we make tooth extractions in Darien, CT as gentle and stress-free as possible for kids and parents. Sometimes, a baby tooth needs help coming out, or a decayed or damaged tooth needs to be removed to protect your child’s overall oral health. Our experienced pediatric dentist uses comforting language, soft tools, and plenty of patience to make the process calm and smooth. Every step is done with your child’s safety, comfort, and future smile in mind.
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to stop infection, relieve pain, or make room for new teeth to grow properly. In cases of severe tooth decay, trauma, or crowding, removing a tooth may be the best way to protect your child’s oral health. In many cases, we also provide restorative treatments for kids, like dental crowns or space maintainers, to preserve healthy function and support future development after an extraction.
At Lil’ Dente, we know how to talk kids through the process with kind words and a calming approach. We use gentle techniques and explain every step so there are no surprises. Our goal is to make sure your child feels brave and supported from start to finish.
