See a dentist: Your child should be evaluated by a dentist to determine which teeth are non-vital, and discuss the appropriate treatment options with you. If the teeth are permanent teeth, every reasonable effort, including root canal therapy, should be made to save the teeth if possible.

Get help: You can't resurrect a non-vital tooth at home. Your child needs professional help. Please call your dentist for an examination. There are many solutions, depending on the exact problem.
