Pediatric Root Canal Treatment

A Root Canal is a treatment used to repair and/or save a tooth that is decayed or infected. Without proper treatment, the tissue/gums surrounding the tooth may become infected and form abscesses. Abscesses cause infection and weaken the support structure around baby teeth or the permanent teeth underneath them. Root canals are a procedure designed to save the tooth by completely or partially removing the infected pulp and nerve in the root or crown of the tooth. After that, a filling or a ready-made crown for kids is placed to preserve the tooth until its shedding time.
