Bleeding due to tooth decay
My son 8 yrs old has premolar tooth broken from one side (I suspect broken due to cavity) and bleeding from root 2-3 times a day. Shall I remove this tooth? I am wanting to remove the tooth rather than any other cosmetic treatment.
Some dentists suggest for root canal and I am not sure for a child I should go for it. As per some dentists gap from the removal of this tooth will be taken over by other nearby teeth. Is it correct?
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

Kindly tell if it is a permanent or a milk tooth,,extracting a tooth at this age is not advisable,even a milk tooth can be saved with root canal treatments.
