6 year olds get their first adult molar at the back of the mouth , and if a cavity gets too deep quickly, the nerve will die, and the tooth will need root canal treatment.
by all means....i have no 9 year old...wakakak
No 2 year olds that need a root canal have been neglected and abused. You should contact child protective services. Joeseph berkely m.d.
It can only be recommended by dentist. I would suggest please go to doctor and complete check up of the child as usually root canal is performed on adults.
Yes. I had a root canal done on one of mine when I was 10 or 11 and one on the other front tooth a couple years later, as the result of an accident.
No!
My girlfriend had it when she was 7 and she was the youngest person in the world to get it my cousin sister is being treated for it since she was a year old
Nothing, she just got her molar first is all.
i am 12 years old i just had my root canal today. It didn't hurt bad they just nummed the area around the tooth it was fine. For a child the biggest factor is fear.
Like the old saying, "There is no free lunch".
shut up and dont worry about it hahah sucker
Sounds like a scam job to me. You better seek out an alternate DDS practioner. It shouldn't be too much longer, and he should lose that tooth, by nature. The secondary, or permanent tooth is actually an extension of the primary, just below it underneath the gumline. There is a chance that by an accident, the tooth may have become impacted, and then, yes, it might be good to have a root canal, if the surrounding tissue, and nerves are damaged.AnswerThe answer above was written by someone uneduacted. Root canal therapy on primary (baby) teeth is necessary in some cases. A primary molar will not usually be shed until 11-13 years old. That primary tooth needs to hold the space for the secondary tooth erupting in about 4 years. Electing to extract has the potential for serious (and expensive) problems on down the road. Electing to do nothing is even worse. -Yes, please if you have not had an educational background in dentistry please refrain from giving dental advise. See a pediatric dentist.
No.
