Hello
That’s OK there is nothing to worry. A lot of people younger than four years will go through this treatment, but it’s mandatory to get the treatment because it might spread to the other teeth.

Hi , I understand your concern. Don’t worry the pain swelling will subside by pain killers and antibiotics., but since the child is very young, you have take treatment because you have to try to retain tooth till the permanent tooth erupts, don’t worry, the treatment will be done under anaesthesia will not be painful

Hi ma'am Don’t worry, you are not a bad mom. Gum boils mean infection, and it needs treatment soon. Please visit a pediatric dentist immediately. They can use sedation safely for children. Delaying can make the infection worse. Trust your dentist and go ahead with treatment for your child’s relief.

Hello ma’am, you don’t have to worry. There are many child-friendly techniques available for performing a pulpectomy. I would suggest visiting a good pediatric dentist who can build a good rapport with your child so that she feels comfortable and even enjoys the treatment process. The procedure may require multiple visits, but with the support of antibiotics and painkillers, she will recover soon.
Next Steps
Visit a paediatric dentist
Health Tips

Hi,
Visit the Pediatric dentist and go ahead with the treatment suggested. There is no need to worry regarding getting the treatment under IV Sedation. Request you not to read any content on the internet. Avoiding the necessary treatment will cause more discomfort to your daughter.

Hello maam
Don't worry
Consult with the pedodontist and let them do the treatment. They have the expertise in this only. So kindly trust them and get the treatment done.
It's no worry about the age dental treatments in children start from 2.5years age only. You need to be calm, if you are only feared then your child is also not co-operative. Kids are observing their parents so you need to be strong then the child will automatically be strong.
Nothing to worry
