Your child may need root canal therapy if they are experiencing severe pain in a tooth, feels teeth sensitivity to hot or cold, or if the teeth are chipped or cracked with the nerve already exposed. The nerve, once damaged, results in pain. Our dentist removes the infected nerve, damaged soft tissues, and decay by performing root canal treatment on your child. A dental crown will then be placed in the weakened tooth to make it strong enough to remain in the child’s mouth until the permanent tooth erupts in them.
