What Is a Primary Tooth Root Canal?

This treatment involves removing infected or damaged pulp tissue inside a baby tooth and filling it with a biocompatible material to preserve the tooth until its natural exfoliation. It prevents early extraction and maintains dental function.

When Is It Necessary?

Deep cavities reaching the nerve
Trauma causing discoloration or sensitivity in baby teeth
Persistent toothache, swelling, or abscess
Infection before the natural shedding time of the tooth

Why Is Root Canal Therapy Important for Baby Teeth?

Baby teeth guide the proper eruption of permanent teeth
Early extraction may cause space loss or misalignment
It helps maintain chewing, speech, and aesthetics
Preserving the baby tooth supports proper jaw development

What Is the Procedure Like?

Local anesthesia is applied
The infected pulp is carefully removed
The root canal is cleaned and filled with safe material
The tooth is restored with a filling or pediatric crown
Most cases are completed in a single visit.

Is It Painful for the Child?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and often with behavior management techniques. If needed, sedation may be used to ensure comfort.

What Aftercare Is Required?

Avoid eating until the numbness wears off
Prevent the child from biting the numb area
Maintain good oral hygiene
Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
