A laser root canal treatment can save an infected baby tooth that would otherwise need removing. Dr. Imneet Madan has offered this treatment in Dubai since 2013, and it remains the pioneering work of her practice.
When a baby tooth becomes infected
In advanced decay, baby teeth develop abscesses, swellings and infections. Some children complain of pain. Many, however, report no pain at all. Because of that silence, parents often discover the problem late.
Extraction used to be the standard answer. A laser root canal treatment offers another route. It saves primary teeth that dentists would otherwise take out.
How laser root canal treatment works
Dr. Imneet uses dual wavelengths, which simply means two types of laser. Together they open the infected canals and sterilise them. Lasers reach areas that instruments alone can struggle to clean.
This approach has proved effective over many years. It treats primary teeth with abscesses, infections and pus. It also helps after failed earlier treatment or traumatic injury.
- Abscessed and swollen baby teeth
- Infected root canals with pus
- Teeth that failed previous treatment
- Damage following dental trauma
Why saving the tooth matters
Pediatric dentistry has a simple rule: the natural tooth is the best space maintainer. Baby molars hold space for the adult teeth forming beneath them. If a tooth goes too early, neighbouring teeth drift into the gap. As a result, the permanent tooth can erupt crooked or stay trapped.
A laser root canal treatment protects that rule. Instead of a premature extraction, the child keeps the tooth until it is ready to fall out naturally. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry also emphasises preserving primary teeth wherever the tooth can be restored.
What the appointment feels like
Treatment follows The Calm Chair Method™. The room stays calm and the pace stays unhurried. Lasers reduce noise and vibration, so many children cope far better than parents expect. In most cases the visit needs little or no injection.
If the infection is extensive, Dr. Imneet may discuss conscious sedation or treatment under general anaesthesia. She will explain every option before anything begins.
