Root Canal - Saving Tiny Teeth with Gentle Care
At My Smile Dentist, we know dental pain can make kids anxious — that’s why we focus on gentle, stress-free treatments that protect their smile and comfort. Our Kids Root Canal Treatment (also called pulp therapy or pulpectomy) is designed to save infected baby teeth while keeping your child relaxed and pain-free.
What Is a Root Canal for Kids?
A kids’ root canal is a specialized dental procedure used to treat deep cavities or infections that reach the inner part of the tooth (the pulp). Instead of removing the tooth, our dentist gently cleans and restores it to keep it healthy until the permanent tooth is ready to replace it.
The Root Canal Process
-
Examination & X-Ray – We evaluate the infected tooth to understand the extent of damage.
-
Numbing & Comfort – Local anesthesia ensures a completely pain-free experience.
-
Cleaning the Pulp – The infected part of the tooth is gently removed and cleaned.
-
Filling & Sealing – The space is filled with a safe medicated material to prevent reinfection.
-
Crown Placement (if needed) – A protective crown may be added to strengthen and restore the tooth’s shape.
