Baby Root Canal (Pulpectomy) in Montclair, NJ

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we provide gentle baby root canal treatments (pulpectomies) to help save your child’s baby tooth and relieve pain caused by deep cavities or infections. Our kid-focused team ensures every visit is calm, compassionate, and stress-free.

Preserving baby teeth is essential for proper speech, chewing, and guiding adult teeth into place. If decay has reached the inner pulp, a pulpectomy can treat the infection while keeping your child’s natural tooth intact until it's ready to fall out naturally.

Why Should I Get a Pulpectomy for My Child?

When a baby tooth’s pulp becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay or trauma, removing the tooth prematurely can lead to spacing issues or orthodontic concerns. A pulpectomy eliminates the infection while maintaining the tooth’s role in your child’s oral development.

This treatment not only saves the tooth but also alleviates pain, reduces the risk of further infection, and supports healthy jaw growth. Our pediatric dental team makes the process smooth with kid-friendly techniques and comforting reassurance throughout the visit.

Treat Deep Infections

Pulpectomies clear out infection and inflamed pulp from baby teeth. This relieves pain and prevents the spread of bacteria. It helps save the tooth from removal.
