Tooth Extractions
There are times when tooth extractions become a necessary dental procedure. For children and young adolescents, tooth extractions are often necessary to make room for teeth that have yet to erupt or that do not have adequate space in the mouth. For unknown reasons, some children’s teeth do not loosen in a timely manner, halting the development of their mature teeth. This can also cause overcrowding, which can cause the extreme misalignment of other permanent teeth that already in position.
Permanent teeth are not invincible to extraction. Although permanent teeth are meant to last a lifetime, injury, trauma or tooth decay can damage teeth beyond repair, making extractions necessary. As part of our general dental services at ATX Family Dental, we offer gentle tooth extractions for patients who need tooth removal. Our experienced and compassionate team are here to serve your comfort needs as well as recommend further treatment to prevent complications.
Wisdom Teeth Removal

When the wisdom teeth fail to emerge from the gum line, they become impacted and can cause a whole host of issues inside the mouth. It is important to have wisdom teeth removed earlier rather than later to avoid other dental issues such as misalignment of the permanent teeth or infection. The American Dental Association strongly endorses that wisdom teeth be removed before a person reaches young adulthood in order to prevent future problems and to promote optimal healing.
