Roothcanal on 6 year old? my son is 6 still has all babyteeth exept of three is it alright to have a roothcanal done on him?

It : It would be helpful to know what tooth requires the root canal. Age 6 is the time that the permanent teeth start showing up in the mouth (1st permanent molars and incisors). The remain permanent teeth will erupt over the next 12 years so there is benefit to maintaining the health of the baby teeth. As stated earlier, the state of exfoliation (loss) of the baby tooth along with the amount of decay present are the determining factors in deciding if a root canal is the treatment of choice.

Often : Often at this age a few things should be considered. Pulpotomies (mini root canals for baby teeth) are common if the decay is deep. This allows one to keep a baby tooth until a permanent tooth comes in. If a permanent tooth is on its way, extracting the tooth in question may be a good option. If the adult tooth isn't close, a space maintainer must be placed to hold space for the adult tooth.

Depends: Typically "root canals" aren't done on baby teeth. What is done is called a pulpotomy, where the inflamed pulp of a baby tooth is removed and then the tooth restored. If the tooth is abscessed it is typically removed. Baby teeth are important because they maintain space in the jaw for permanent teeth. If you lose a baby tooth prematurely, crowding or impaction of perm. Tooth can occur.
