Sometimes baby teeth got severe issues which cannot be fixed with simple procedure. So we need to go some extensive procedure for these kind of teeth, when cavity reached near to pulp (which contains nerve and blood vessels) in milk /baby teeth. If you want to save that teeth then root canal treatment (RCT) which is known as Pulpectomy in kids has to be performed. At our clinic expert child dentist will remove damaged pulp and will clean that area followed by filling. Your dentist will decide either you need numbing (local anesthesia) or not. Most cases are performed with local anesthesia.

Is Root canal good for kids?

Many parents believe that is it okay to loose child milk/baby teeth before time because of cavity or due to any other reasons. They think permanent teeth will come later on.

But, I would like to tell you if your kiddo is losing his/her teeth due to cavity, pus or severe damage. It may leads to issue in the child that could be

• Slurred speech.
• Not able to chew properly
• Crooked or overlapping teeth
• Improper alignment of permanent teeth in future.

So, to avoid all these issue you can choose root canal treatment that is completely safe for kids. Any child can go under root canal depending on issues. Your pediatric dentist will suggest you according to your need.
