Question
A child started pulling their ears shortly after birth. Can a 7-year-old child undergo root canal treatment?
Answer
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to easily extract teeth. It is important to first confirm which tooth is causing the problem; under normal circumstances, root canal treatment can be performed. However, it is necessary to consider whether the child can cooperate with the treatment. Additionally, the child’s behavior of randomly pulling their ears may be related to blood issues, and it is advised to undergo blood tests and platelet count checks. Treatment for bleeding can include taking Yunnan Baiyao, Vitamin C, and cimetidine, and it is also important to avoid overly dry nasal passages in daily life.
