ANOTHER ANSWER:
Sometimes a procedure called a 'pulpotomy' is performed on baby teeth. It is essentially the same as a root canal procedure on an adult tooth. The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic, the tooth is opened with a dental drill, the nerve and the infection is removed, and filling material is used to restore the tooth. It will typically preserve the baby tooth until the tooth is lost in the normal process of growth or 'exfoliation' where baby teeth are lost to make room for the permanent teeth.

Does your insurance pay for braces if you have a root canal or can you even get braces with a root canal?
Yes, you can get braces if you have a root canal. And I wouldn't think it would make a difference to an insurance company either. Not sure if your question is about costs. Two major procedures like a root canal and braces would probably exhaust annual maximums of most dental insurances. You would be well advised to get a supplemental plan for major dental work like root canal. addendum: there is usually a lifetime max for orthodontics, separate from root canals etc. ask your insurance company about your coverage. but braces will work on a root canal treated tooth.
