Saving Baby Teeth with Pulp Therapy
Pulp therapy is the pediatric equivalent of a root canal — designed specifically for baby teeth. When decay reaches the nerve (pulp) of a child's tooth, pulp therapy removes the infected tissue while preserving the tooth structure. This is critical because baby teeth maintain space for permanent teeth, support jaw development, and enable proper speech and nutrition during childhood.
Who Needs Pulp Therapy?
Pulp therapy is needed for children with:
- Deep cavities reaching the tooth nerve
- Toothache or pain when eating
- Swelling or abscess near a baby tooth
- Tooth trauma from falls or injury
- Night-time tooth pain disturbing sleep
- Sensitivity to hot or cold in baby teeth
