Pediatric root canal therapy
Pediatric root canal therapy, also known as pulpotomy or pulp therapy, is a vital dental procedure that can save a child’s natural tooth from extraction due to tooth decay, trauma or injury. At Junior Dental, we understand the importance of preserving your child’s natural teeth for overall dental health.
What is pediatric root canal therapy?
Pediatric root canal therapy is a procedure that is designed to remove infected, inflamed or dead pulp (inner part of the tooth) that can cause tooth pain and lead to the formation of an abscess. The procedure involves removing the decayed part of the tooth, cleaning the pulp chamber and filling it with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other teeth, cause discomfort, difficulty eating, and can lead to other health complications.
When is pediatric root canal therapy recommended?
Pediatric root canal therapy is recommended when there is significant tooth decay, infection, or trauma to the tooth. The procedure is necessary to preserve the natural tooth and avoid extractions that can lead to other dental problems. Our experienced team at Junior Dental will assess your child’s dental condition and recommend the best course of action.
