For both functional and cosmetic reasons, endodontic or root canal treatment (RCT) is preferable to tooth loss. It can preserve tooth, jaw and tongue function. It can also prevent speech problems, and abnormal eruption of a permanent successor tooth, or even the loss of a tooth that has no successor.
Root canal treatment (RCT) can be done for both adult and children as per requirement of saving the tooth.
Young children can lose milk (primary) teeth and even immature permanent teeth when the pulp, the living tissue inside a tooth, becomes infected. This is often the result of trauma or dental caries (tooth decay) and creates a special problem for the child. The primary teeth provide important guides for the newly developing permanent teeth that will replace them. And injury resulting in loss of young permanent teeth can be even more troublesome, because neither tooth development, nor jaw growth is complete. If teeth are lost prematurely, a malocclusion ("mal"– bad; "occlusion"– bite) can easily result.
We are also into re-root canal treatment for saving failed RC treated tooth. As occasionally happens with any dental or medical procedure, a tooth may not heal as expected after initial treatment for a variety of reasons. Failed Root canal treated tooth can be re-treated and saved without extraction. Whenever possible, it is best to save your natural tooth. Retreated teeth can function well for years, even for a lifetime. Advances in technology are constantly changing the way root canal treatment is performed, so we may use new techniques that were not available when you had your first procedure. We may be able to resolve your problem with retreatment, as is always adviced.
