Difference between baby tooth extraction and adult tooth extractions?

I'm getting 4 teeth pulled for braces, and one of them happens to be a baby tooth that has no adult tooth growing under it. I just wanted to know if there was a difference with the baby tooth being pulled, like less time for it to heal or anything. Thanks in advance!

Difference between baby tooth extraction and adult tooth extractions?
The baby tooth could have a full root or because of root resorption, or unerupted crowded adult teeth, that could have an impact on the root, causing it to have a shorter root. Anyway you flip the coin, it could be very similar to an adult tooth extraction. Best of luck
Reply:If there is no adult tooth under the baby tooth, then the baby tooth will have a full-size root, and will be similar to having an adult tooth pulled.
Reply:my baby tooth was way easier than the other adult tooth to come out so i think its a wait and see here....they are usually all okay so don't panic


if i can go to the dentist anyone can:)
