Your baby will be numbed before the procedure so should be fine.
If your baby needs a root canal, the daily pain from the cavity is higher than the pain from a root canal
Yes and no. If the size of the infection is big, it may cause some pain but usually getting anesthesia is the worst part.
No, not painful if properly numbed...we have had children fall asleep during this procedure.
If the baby is in pain then yes but if the baby has some antibiotics when it is not as painful.
If the tooth is properly anesthetized, it should be painless.
