What Happens During a Root Canal?
During root canal treatment, we will create a small window in the top of the affected tooth to remove the damaged pulp inside. This will help erase your child’s pain in addition to preserving their natural dental structure. Our team will then top the tooth off with a protective dental crown to restore the tooth to its original shape.
What is Pulp Therapy?
While root canal treatment is done on permanent teeth, pulpotomies are performed on primary teeth. Instead of removing the entire bundle of nerves within the inner roots of the tooth, a pulpotomy only gets rid of the infected portion of the pulp, making for a less invasive procedure that preserves more of the natural structure. Just like with root canal treatment, pulp therapy is completed by topping the affected tooth off with a protective preformed dental crown.
