Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2007Baby tooth Root canal
Our dentist is going to do root canal on my son as tooth abscess. Will this treatment have potential damage to the permanent tooth? Is extraction the safest treatment? No way to advise you from the internet on specifics. Generally, treating a permanent tooth with RCT is the best way to go, but not always. Primary teeth (baby teeth) are sometimes best treated with pulpotomies and other-times best extracted. If you don't trust your dentist, get a second opinion.

But when I had a root canal on my permanent tooth, I felt a dentist used pins deeply inserted into the roots. Will baby tooth root canal go through the same procedure? Our dentist tried to save the tooth. I certainly hope the tooth can be saved. But, as the permanent tooth right below the baby tooth, I am a bit concerned the deep root treatment will touch or injury the tooth underneath. Could this happen? Thank you. Different procedure.

No. Not if done correctly. >Our dentist is going to do root canal on my son as tooth abscess. Will >this treatment have potential damage to the permanent tooth?
