Father of a 3 yr 10 m old boy5 hours ago

Q.

My son is 3 years and 10 months old. Two of his teeth are decayed. We consulted a dentist, and the doctor is saying that a root canal may be required. Is it safe to do a root canal at such a young age, or is there any alternative option? Please let me know.

A. Most of the dentist somehow recommend root canal only these days but I would recommend you to take two or three other opinions from another doctor because RCT is not always required but Dr mostly recommend for the same to take a second or third opinion before you proceed with any decision you make
