It is recommended that milk teeth be extracted under the operation of a professional dentist with the use of extraction forceps or dental tines.
The normal replacement time of milk teeth is from the age of six to the end of thirteen; during this period, if the permanent teeth erupt and the milk teeth do not fall out in time, they need to be extracted in time to avoid hindering the growth of the new teeth, which will cause the symptoms of crooked and irregular teeth in the later stage. In addition, if the teeth are severely decayed and cannot be retained by fillings or root canal treatment, they also need to be extracted in time.
When extracting milk teeth, we should do a careful examination to understand the loosening of milk teeth and the degree of cooperation, and then surface anesthesia or local anesthesia for milk teeth, after successful anesthesia, use the extraction forceps or tines to extract the milk teeth and pressure to stop the bleeding, and account for the extraction of teeth after the doctor’s orders.
