What is a Baby Root Canal (Pulpectomy)?
Baby teeth, or primary teeth, play a crucial role in your child’s dental development. They support speech, proper chewing, and help maintain space for permanent teeth to come in correctly. Even though baby teeth are temporary, they are essential for your child’s long term oral health.
A pediatric root canal, also called a pulpectomy, treats infected or deeply decayed primary teeth. The procedure removes infected pulp, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to help preserve the tooth structure. Keeping baby teeth in place is important because early tooth loss can lead to spacing, alignment, and developmental concerns for permanent teeth.
