What are the dangers of root canal treatment of deciduous teeth?

Although teeth are extremely strong, they are very fragile when facing diseases. There are many types of dental diseases. For example, root canal inflammation of deciduous teeth is a common disease. The pain it causes often makes patients feel extremely miserable. However, many people have doubts about the method of treating deciduous teeth with root canals. For example, what are the dangers of root canal treatment of deciduous teeth?

There are two reasons why many parents are reluctant to have their children undergo root canal treatment: first, deciduous teeth will fall out, and second, root canal treatment is too painful.

Although the surface of the teeth is composed of the hardest tissue, the inside of the teeth is full of soft tissues such as blood vessels, dental nerves, and lymphatic vessels. When the surface of our teeth is damaged due to dental diseases (such as caries) or trauma (tooth fractures caused by impact), these soft tissues that have been wrapped will be exposed and infected by bacteria or bacterial viruses, causing intense pain. At this time, in order to save the teeth, doctors will choose to perform root canal treatment for patients. There are no strict restrictions on root canal treatment, even for deciduous teeth. Therefore, in order to address this problem, deciduous teeth can undergo root canal treatment, and there is no harm.

Baby teeth will fall out. Is it necessary to do root canal treatment? If left untreated, it may eventually lead to extraction. Although baby teeth will fall out sooner or later, they are the "guides" of permanent teeth. Losing baby teeth too early will cause delayed eruption of permanent teeth or cause tooth deformities.

Since the principles of root canal treatment for children's deciduous teeth are the same as those for adults, many adults feel that this method is too painful for children. However, the methods and materials of root canal treatment for children are very different, the treatment time is relatively short, most children can accept it, and usually no anesthetic is required.

For children with serious systemic diseases, root canal treatment can reduce the risk. Since root canal treatment can keep natural teeth intact and in an appropriate biological state without removing the affected teeth, there is no need to use adjacent teeth to support the denture device, eliminating abnormal pressure and reducing the cost of denture production.
