It is impossible to see the “pulp” of a tooth with the naked eye. The pulp is located at the center of each tooth, and it contains nerves, tissue, and blood vessels that channel oxygen and nutrients. Pulp can be damaged in several ways. Children are most likely to experience painful pulp exposure and inflammation due to tooth decay or traumatic injury.<\/span><\/p>

Other names for pediatric pulp therapy include root canal, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, and nerve treatment. Pulp therapy aims to treat, restore, and save the affected tooth.<\/span><\/p>

Both primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth can be treated with pulp therapy by pediatric dentists. The primary teeth are necessary for speech production, chewing, and guiding the proper alignment and spacing of permanent teeth even though they are eventually shed.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pulp that is inflamed or injured is extremely painful. Children who suffer from dental pain, regardless of whether the source is visible, will soon become aware that they need to see a pediatric dentist.<\/span><\/p>
