What is a milk tooth root canal?
A milk tooth root canal (pulpectomy) gently removes the infected nerve from a badly decayed baby tooth, relieving your child's pain and saving the tooth instead of pulling it out. Keeping the baby tooth matters — it holds the space for the adult tooth to come through in the right place. At SmilePath Dental in Mansarovar, Jaipur, our team does this gently and reassuringly, so your child stays comfortable throughout. Your child's first checkup is free, and we'll explain everything to you clearly.
What to expect
We gently examine your child and take a small X-ray to see the infection. We numb the tooth comfortably — explaining each step to your child in a friendly way — then remove the infected nerve tissue, clean the canals, and fill them with a special material that safely dissolves as the tooth naturally loosens and falls out.
We usually place a small child-sized crown on top to protect the treated tooth so it lasts until it's ready to come out on its own. Throughout, we keep things calm, positive, and reassuring for your little one.
Who it's for
A milk tooth root canal is for a child in Jaipur with deep decay or infection reaching the nerve of a baby tooth — often causing a toothache or a small gum boil. It's the gentle way to save a tooth that would otherwise need removing early, keeping your child comfortable and their bite on track.
