Hi sir...
It is possible to do Root canal treatment for children....
For children this procedure is called as PULPECTOMY....
You need to take IOPA( X_RAY) to rule out the extent of the caries....
If the cadries is confined to crown portion of pulp we will do Pulpotomy...If it progress to root portion you need to go for Pulpectomy( complete removal of both crown and root portion pulp) followed by capping....

Hi,yes it may be possible to do fillings to save the milk teeth provided they're not mobile or the prognosis is poor.First of all a radiograph is necessary to explore the possibilities of any kind of treatment and the most important thing is the cooperation of the child patient to get this treatment done.
