Why Take Your Child to an Endodontist?
At Elite Endodontics, we treat patients of all ages. Kids’ teeth can become infected and require dental treatment just like adults’ teeth. Endodontics focuses on conditions impacting the interior of the tooth. Pediatric endodontics treats these issues in children, specializing in both primary and permanent teeth. 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 in dental medicine to master root canal treatment and therapy for the pulp inside a tooth. Regardless of the patient’s age, endodontists are considered specialists in saving natural permanent teeth and treating dental pain. Our endodontic care is tailored to meet the unique needs of young patients, including those with young permanent teeth that require specific treatments.
What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is an endodontic procedure that is most often performed on deciduous (baby) teeth. This pulp treatment is needed when deep tooth decay reaches the pulp inside of the affected tooth, causing an infection called pulpitis. Pulpotomies are a form of pulp therapy commonly used in clinical pediatric dentistry to preserve primary teeth until they naturally fall out.
Reasons Your Child May Need to See an Endodontist
- Dental trauma or oral injury
- Toothache
- Sensitivity to heat, cold, or sugary foods
- Referral from pediatric dentist
