Root Canal Therapy for Children
Primary teeth are crucial. Just because of this reason; it is essential to keep it intact, instead of extracting it at an early age. This is when root canal therapy comes into play. It can easily help restore the baby-tooth from excess decay.
When Does A Child Need Root Canal Therapy?
The root canal therapy is recommended by our Spanaway Pediatric Dentist if a kid experiences toothache or the tooth is sensitive to temperature, or suffering from a chipped or a cracked tooth with an already exposed nerve. In all these conditions, the nerve gets destroyed to such an extent that it becomes quite impossible to treat with the help of medication or simple surface repair. Hence, we take out the infected nerve and plant a crown over it. In this method, we ensure the tooth stays strong and healthy until the permanent tooth appears.
