What Are Baby Teeth?

Baby teeth are the first set of teeth in humans, appearing from when the child is young and will gradually be replaced by permanent teeth.

Eruption time: Baby teeth begin to grow when the child is about 6 months old and are completed around 2-3 years old.

Teeth replacement time: Baby teeth will gradually fall out from 6 to 12 years old to make room for permanent teeth.

Why is it necessary to treat baby teeth pulp?

Although baby teeth only exist temporarily, they play an important role in chewing, pronunciation and holding space for permanent teeth. When baby teeth are decayed into the pulp and not treated promptly, it can cause:

  • Pain, abscess, widespread pulpitis
  • Affects the development of permanent teeth below
  • Risk of early loss of baby teeth, causing malocclusion
  • Psychological fear of dentistry if the child has to have a tooth extracted early due to pain

Therefore, root canal treatment of baby teeth is an intervention to preserve real teeth, help maintain chewing function and guide teeth to grow in the right position.

Signs of pulpitis in baby teeth that need treatment

Parents should take their child to the dentist if they see the following signs:

  • Large cavities, black cavities appear
  • Children complain of spontaneous toothache, especially at night
  • Teeth change to dark color, sensitive to hot/cold
  • Teeth are loose early (not at the right age to change)
  • Pus, swollen gums around the tooth root

Treatment methods for baby tooth pulp

Depending on the extent of pulp damage, the doctor will prescribe:

  • Removing the pulp chamber: If the root pulp is still alive. The doctor will remove the pulp from the tooth body, keep the root pulp, apply medicine and fill it.
  • Removing the entire pulp: If the pulp has spread to the root. The doctor removed the entire pulp, cleaned the root canal, placed medicine and restored it.
