Root Canal Treatment
Primary Tooth Root Canal Treatment
At Zen Kidz, we offer primary tooth root canal treatment, also known as pulpotomy, to address issues in the pulp of a child's tooth. This procedure is essential for saving a tooth that has been compromised by decay or injury, preventing the need for extraction. Our Garden City and New York City offices are equipped with state-of-the-art, child-friendly technology and techniques, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment that will put both you and your child at ease.
Who Needs Primary Tooth Root Canal?
This treatment is typically necessary for children who experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold or have visible signs of tooth decay or infection. At Zen Kidz, our pediatric dentists recommend a pulpotomy when the decay has reached the tooth pulp but the root is still healthy. This can prevent the spread of infection and save the natural tooth, which is crucial for maintaining proper spacing for permanent teeth.
