Removal of a milk tooth
In the "Mamin Dim" clinic, the removal of a milk tooth is performed under local anesthesia - first, a "freezing" gel is applied to the gums so that the child does not even feel the injection, and then an anesthetic is injected. Local anesthesia is recommended for easy tooth extraction and the child's psychological readiness for the procedure. After the tooth is removed, the child needs to hold a cotton swab for 30 minutes, not eat or drink anything for 2 hours, clean the teeth carefully and not absorb the blood clot independently.
In case of bleeding, severe pain, swelling of the gums, fever or other symptoms, you should consult a doctor.
