Kids’ Fillings, Pulpectomy & Space Maintainers in Pune
Gentle, child-specific treatment for healthy milk teeth.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Rajat Shaikh, MDS — Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry
Children’s teeth need child-specific care — Happy Tooth’s pediatric specialist Dr. Rajat Shaikh provides painless fillings, pulpectomy (baby-tooth root canal), tooth-coloured crowns and space maintainers to protect little smiles in Mohamadwadi, Pune.
Milk teeth matter — they guide eating, speech and the correct spacing of adult teeth. When decay or early tooth loss happens, treating it promptly with child-friendly techniques prevents pain and protects the developing smile.
Dr. Rajat Shaikh uses gentle numbing, behaviour guidance and, where needed, sedation so treatment is genuinely painless for your child.

Frequently asked questions
Why treat milk teeth if they fall out anyway?
Healthy milk teeth are essential for eating, speech and guiding adult teeth into place. Untreated decay can cause pain, infection and crowding of permanent teeth.
What is a pulpectomy?
A pulpectomy is a root canal for a milk tooth — it removes infected nerve tissue to save the tooth and relieve pain until it naturally falls out.
Why does my child need a space maintainer?
If a milk tooth is lost early, neighbouring teeth can drift into the gap and block the adult tooth. A space maintainer holds the space so the permanent tooth erupts properly.
Will the treatment hurt my child?
We use child-focused numbing, a gentle pace and, when needed, safe nitrous-oxide sedation so treatment stays comfortable and calm.
