Nerve Treatment
Pediatric Dental Nerve Treatment
A pulpotomy (also known as a baby root canal) involves the surgical removal of the affected tooth’s pulp chamber. Children often experience infected/inflamed tooth pulps due to untreated decay and cavities. During the procedure any bacteria and infection will be thoroughly removed from the pulp chamber, preventing additional infection and damage.
Baby teeth are not as hard and strong as adult teeth, and the nerve inside a baby tooth is closer to the outside, which is why children are often both more sensitive and susceptible to dental decay and infected or inflamed tooth pulps. With our endodontic treatment your child can experience relief.
