Why Take Your Child to an Endodontist?
We treat patients of all ages. Kids’ teeth can become infected and require treatment just like adults’ teeth. Endodontics focuses on conditions impacting the interior of the tooth. Pediatric endodontics treats these issues in children. We can see children of all ages in our child-friendly office and offer sedation to ensure your child feels safe and comfortable during their treatment.
Endodontists receive specialized training to master root canal therapy and treating the pulp inside a tooth. Regardless of the patient’s age, endodontists are considered specialists in saving natural teeth and treating dental pain.
What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is an endodontic procedure that is most often performed on deciduous (baby) teeth. This treatment is needed when deep tooth decay reaches the pulp inside of a tooth, causing an infection called pulpitis.
