Children's Root Canals from our Compassionate Dentists

At Adventure Dental and Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on the effective and compassionate care we provide to our patients, including procedures such as baby root canals. We realize that this is one of the most misunderstood dental procedures, so we’re committed to walking our patients through every step. We also focus on showing them how to properly care for their teeth so that they can avoid another root canal.

Why Schedule a Baby Root Canal?

You may be wondering why a dentist would recommend a root canal for baby teeth since they fall out on their own eventually. If your child’s tooth has a bacterial infection or inflammation around it, a baby root canal can help save the tooth to avoid premature tooth loss. Premature baby tooth loss can have negative effects on speech development and even alter the position of permanent teeth.

A baby root canal typically consists of:

  • Numbing the tooth with anesthesia
  • Removing the upper part of the pulp
  • Covering the remaining tooth with a crown
