A baby root canal is like an adult root canal, but it is performed on a baby tooth. If a cavity is deep and reaches the canal and nerve, your child’s dentist in Corona, CA, will remove the infection from the canal, including the nerve, and close the tooth with a mendicant and crown. This helps prevent a painful infection and premature loss of the baby tooth.
The dentist uses anesthesia, which helps children remain relaxed during the procedure. And we are always here to answer any questions that you might have.
Why Are Baby Teeth Important?
Consider baby teeth placeholders for your child’s adult teeth. If they are lost too soon, there is no proper guide from these permanent adult teeth to erupt correctly.
Additionally, baby teeth play an essential role in oral development, helping speech development, chewing, and more.
Whenever possible, we work to preserve your child’s baby teeth until they are ready to come out on their own naturally. To do this, we recommend twice-yearly visits with the dentist.
