What is Pediatric Endodontics?
Pediatric endodontics focuses on the treatment and early intervention for developing permanent teeth in children. When a developing permanent tooth is damaged due to trauma or decay, or has a developmental anomaly leading to a problem, early treatment is essential to preserve its health and function. Prompt care helps ensure the long-term health of these teeth, supporting proper dental development and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Endodontics
When preparing your child for an endodontic procedure, focus on the purpose of the visit: saving their tooth and preserving their smile for the future. Explain that the doctor will work with them to ensure their tooth remains healthy and strong for a lifetime. It’s best to avoid words that might provoke anxiety, such as “hurt”, “pain” or “needle”. Instead, emphasize the positive aspects of the appointment and how it will benefit them.
Often, when children understand that the procedure is for their benefit and to protect their smile, they feel more at ease and are very cooperative. This helps create a positive and successful experience for everyone involved. At Perry Endodontics, we prioritize creating a comfortable and reassuring environment for your child’s care.
