At EZ Dental, we offer pediatric root canals to treat infected or severely decayed baby teeth while keeping your child comfortable and calm. This simple procedure can relieve pain, stop infection, and preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out.

 

What Is a Pediatric Root Canal?

A pediatric root canal (pulpotomy or pulpectomy) involves removing damaged pulp tissue inside the tooth, cleaning the area, and sealing it to prevent further issues. We often place a crown afterward to protect the tooth.

 

Signs Your Child May Need a Root Canal:

- Ongoing toothache or sensitivity

- Swollen or tender gums

- Darkened or damaged tooth

- Pain when chewing

 

We always confirm with an exam and x-rays before recommending treatment.

 

What to Expect

- Local numbing for a pain-free visit

- Quick, gentle treatment

- Durable, child-safe filling and crown

- Easy recovery and return to normal activities
