No one likes to get their teeth extracted, especially children. That’s why at Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces, located in Phoenix, AZ., we offer teeth sectioning services. Teeth sectioning is an easier way of removing a tooth. The tooth is split or sectioned into multiple parts, making it easier to take out. Sectioning requires less force and a smaller wound afterward, which is ideal for children.
There are multiple reasons why your child's tooth might need to be sectioned. For teeth that are multi-rooted or have unique roots, extractions can be difficult. Wisdom teeth require sectioning when they become impacted. Many times extractions are needed to prepare a child’s mouth for orthodontics.
During the sectioning, your child will have a local anesthetic applied to their tooth. The pulp and nerve tissue will be cut. A dental handpiece (drill) will section the tooth. Throughout the process, the dentist will continue to flush the area with water. Doing so removes the bone chips and fragments. Once the tooth has been properly sectioned, the pieces are taken out.
All your child will hear is the sound of the drill and the vibrations. With the anesthetic, it will be relatively painless. Talk to your dentist about being allowed in the room with your child during the procedure. You can also talk to your dentist about strategies for keeping your child calm during or any advice for addressing any dental phobias.
