How do you treat a baby tooth with an abscess?
There are a number of ways to treat a baby tooth with an abscess, depending on the tooth and the child's behavior. Typically the tooth needs to be removed once it has abscessed. Sometimes we are able to save the tooth by doing a pulpectomy. During this treatment, the diseased pulp tissue is completely removed from both the crown and root. The canals are cleansed, medicated and in the case of primary teeth, filled with IRM material and crowned with a stainless steal crown.
