A 7-year-old girl successfully had a procedure at Solid Rock Hospital at about 2pm on November 19, 2024, to alleviate mild tooth pain that had persisted for three months. The young patient was brought to the clinic experiencing significant discomfort and a loose tooth. Upon examination, the dentist diagnosed a retained deciduous tooth, a condition where a primary tooth fails to fall out as expected.
After a thorough assessment, the parents consented to the necessary procedure. The child had scaling and polishing prior to local anesthesia and subsequently had the affected tooth extracted.
The procedure was completed at approximately 2:40 PM on the same day. The girl had a post operative care. Post operative medications were prescribed and post operative counseling were given to the parent. The child is to be brought back for review in 3 months.
