It can often be difficult to determine if a child needs a root canal. Children can go months without reporting pain to their parents. Signs and symptoms to look for include:
Constant tooth ache or nighttime pain- Sensitivity to warm and cold temperatures
- Swelling or redness around the affected tooth
- When there is obvious extensive decay
- Unexpected looseness or mobility of the affected tooth
What does a root canal procedure on a child’s teeth involve?
- Completely numbing the tooth with anesthesia
- Removing the affected nerves
- Cleaning and filling the root canal
- Placing a protective restoration over it to further protect tooth
