[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.... As per your complaint in case if there is pain in teeth on taking both hot and cold foods then it is most probably due to deep infection or decay in teeth and will need Root Canal Treatment. Yes, it is true that for Root Canal Treatment, the dentist has to give anesthesia, but it is a local anesthesia and only the area of the treatment is made numb in this case. If you are asked to go to Rainbow hospital for getting anesthesia then it is possible that he wants to do the treatment in general anesthesia to make your child sleep. Although nothing is wrong in even that as toddlers are anxious and will not co-operate in treatment, so general anesthesia eases the treatment procedure. But my suggestion is to consult a Pediatric dentist or Periodontist and get evaluated, and first you should get an attempt to get the treatment done in local anesthesia or conscious sedation. In case if the child does not co-operate at all then only proceed to General Anesthesia. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
