Root canal treatments are safe and effective services for treating tooth infections and restoring teeth. The only alternative to a root canal is removing the tooth entirely, and we try to reserve dental extractions for cases in which there are no better alternatives. If your child is apprehensive about their procedure, our office also offers dental sedation services, which can help them feel more relaxed and help them sit still during their treatment. Once their root canal is complete, a durable dental crown will be placed to protect and support the tooth.
