You would probably have heard the term ‘Root canal treatment’ and quite possibly even had one too but, wait a minute, ‘Root canal in children ?’ Yes, a root canal procedure done on a child is known as a ‘Pulpectomy’
What exactly is a pulpectomy?
When your Child’s tooth is infected and starts to pain, it indicates that the infection has spread to the inner portion of the tooth and requires a pulpectomy or quite simply a root canal.
What happens in a pulpectomy?
During a pulpectomy, the kid’s dentist or pediatric dentist will clean the inner portion of your Child’s tooth to clear all the infection using special instruments and seal it with an anti-bacterial material.
Is it really required?
YES! Contrary to the myth of why treat if they will eventually fall off, milk treats play important roles such as maintaining nutrition, preventing damage to permanent teeth, and maintaining space for the underlying permanent teeth to come into proper position.
Is it painful?
Not at all. A child dentist / pediatric dentist is specially trained to carry out such procedures efficiently and spends additional years of study learning behavior management techniques and specialized skills required to treat your child.
How can I avoid it?
The best way to avoid reaching such a situation is to prevent it from arising in the first place! Ensure your child is taken to a Paedodontist or a kids dentist every 6 months to ensure that cavities are detected early and addressed before causing more damage.
