    In their words

    As a Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry I focus on the oral health and unique needs of infants, children and adolescents. I believe in early detection and treatment of dental/oral disease, as preventive dentistry begins with the first tooth! I recommend that all children should see a Pediatric Dentist by the age of on, as parents need to know about infant oral hygiene, proper nutrition and snack habits, what to expect as the child grows, and what to do if there is a problem.…

What is a tooth extraction?

A tooth extraction removes a tooth that is badly damaged, infected, crowded or loose. A simple extraction removes a visible tooth with instruments. A surgical extraction may involve a small incision or removing bone to reach a broken or impacted tooth.

Tooth extraction: specialist or general dentist?

General dentists do most simple extractions and many surgical ones. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons handle complex cases, such as deeply impacted teeth, teeth close to nerves, or patients who need IV sedation or general anesthesia.

None of Los Altos's 34 clinics offering tooth extractions list an oral surgeon on staff in our data yet. See oral surgeons in Los Altos
