Child-Friendly Root Canal Therapy in San Antonio

 What Is a Pediatric Root Canal and When Is It Needed?

A pediatric root canal, or pulpotomy, treats the infected or damaged pulp of a child's tooth. It is necessary when:

• There is severe tooth decay or infection.
• The tooth is injured or damaged.
• The child experiences pain or swelling.

How Is a Root Canal Procedure Performed on a Child?

The root canal procedure for children typically involves:

• Numbing the affected area to ensure comfort.
• Removing the infected or damaged pulp.
• Cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth.
• Filling and sealing the tooth with a child-safe material.

What Can You Expect After Your Child's Root Canal Treatment?

Post-treatment, children may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Proper care and follow-up visits are important for healing.
