The basic procedure of milk tooth treatments like cavity fillings and root canal treatment is similar to what is done for adult teeth, though the materials used are different.
When treating baby teeth, we keep in mind that these teeth are smaller, that they will eventually fall off and that the child is more sensitive to pain than an adult patient. If a tooth is infected, it may be treated only till the level of infection rather than a complete root canal treatment. If it is likely to fall off soon when it needs a treatment, no treatment may be done for the dental problem or it may be removed rather than treated.
Also, if milk teeth do not fall out on time, they need to be removed, especially if they are blocking the way of their successors. If milk teeth donot provide sufficient space for the permanent teeth to erupt, they may be removed before time so that more elaborate treatments of braces and wires may be avoided later on.
