What is a Root Canal?
In pediatric dentistry, a root canal is also called pulpotomy or pulpectomy depending on the age of the tooth. It is used to treat teeth that are severely infected or decayed. Untreated damage to the inner pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerves, can lead to severe pain. The infected tooth pulp is removed, the inside of the teeth are cleaned, and the tooth is sealed to prevent infection.
The Signs that Your Child Might Need a Dental Root Canal
Children's Root Canal Treatment
We ensure that the root canal procedure for your child is as stress-free and comfortable as possible. What to expect during the procedure
- Consultation: Dr. Seifi begins with a thorough exam and X-rays in order to determine the extent and severity of the infection or damage. She will discuss the root canal procedure with you and your child in detail.
- Nitrous: Nitrous oxide can be a safe and effective option for children during dental procedures. It helps to reduce anxiety and discomfort, allowing kids to remain calm while still being awake and responsive.
- Pulp Cleaning and Removal: A qualified Starbrite dentist or specialist will carefully remove the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth. The inner chamber is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to remove any bacteria.
- Sealing a Tooth: After the tooth has been cleaned, a special filler will be used to seal the tooth and prevent infection. In some cases, the tooth may need a crown to restore strength and function.
- After-Procedure: Our dental providers will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your child's teeth as they heal. You may need to schedule follow-up appointments to make sure the tooth heals properly.
