IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT NECESSARY FOR CHILDREN'S TEETH?

When you visit your dentist for your child's decayed teeth, do you wonder why the dentist suggests a "Root Canal Treatment" for your little one?


What is Root Canal Treatment?

When a tooth gets badly decayed, it develops infection within and around its roots. Root Canal Treatment is nothing but cleaning the tooth and its roots from within so as to clear the infection.

Root Canal Treatment saves the natural tooth that would otherwise have been removed!

Is it necessary to do Root Canal Treatment for children's teeth? They are ultimately going to fall!

 
Yes! Root Canal Treatment is absolutely necessary for children's teeth even if they are temporary because:

1. Root canal treatment can cure the infection of milk teeth which may otherwise give pain or swelling to a child.
2. Root canal treatment protects the underlying developing permanent teeth bud from spread of infection.
3. By saving the natural tooth, root canal treatment helps the underlying permanent teeth to come in correct direction.

Root Canal Treatment is thus essential to maintain your child's teeth in absolute health in near and long future.

Still wondering how can a Root Canal Treatment be done in a child when adults are scared of it?
