Pediatric Root Canal Treatments
Baby teeth really are just as important as adult teeth, and a root canal treatment can help save a baby tooth even after a bad infection or case of decay. Combined with our safe and painless sedation options, we can make the whole experience as stress-free for your child as possible. Afterwards, the tooth will be able to function just like normal.
It may be extremely necessary for your child to do a root canal if the tooth suffers from any damage or infection. For example, an abscess (pocket of pus), cavities, or an accident or even an injury may also lead to a root canal. A root canal can be done on both baby teeth and permanent teeth.

A pulpotomy is a type of dental procedure in which the tooth pulp in the crown part of the tooth is eliminated, and the pulp in the root canal remains intact. It is usually done on primary teeth (on children) and is used to treat tooth decay extended to the pulp.
A pulpectomy is a procedure done to remove the pulp from the crown and roots. The tooth is then filled with material that can be absorbed by our body. It is usually performed on baby teeth. A root canal starts with a pulpectomy, but the tooth gets a permanent filling or crown.
