Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a gentle and effective treatment used to save a tooth that has been damaged by deep decay or infection. Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes infected, it can cause pain, swelling, or sensitivity. At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, our caring team provides comfortable root canal therapy designed specifically for children, helping relieve pain while preserving their natural tooth and protecting their smile.
Why Root Canal Therapy Matters
Root canal therapy helps restore comfort, function, and health while preventing further complications.
Relieves Pain: Eliminates discomfort caused by infection or inflammation.
Saves the Tooth: Keeps the natural tooth in place, supporting proper chewing and alignment.
Prevents Infection Spread: Stops bacteria from reaching surrounding teeth or gums.
Restores Normal Function: Allows your child to eat and speak comfortably again.
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy
Our root canal procedure is performed with care to ensure a calm and stress-free experience.
Diagnosis and Preparation: We take digital X-rays to locate the infection and plan treatment precisely.
Numbing and Cleaning: The area is gently numbed, and the infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space is filled and sealed to prevent future infection.
Crown Placement: A durable crown may be placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
