Rashmi Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hello All, My 3 yr old kid hit his front tooth couple of weeks ago. Now it is turning grey. So our dentist suggested a procedure similar to root canal to keep the milk teeth intact till permanent teeth comes out. Please share your experience if any one with cochlear implant has come across root canal treatment . I guess it requires drilling tooth with electrical equipment. Does it affects implant or processor in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MED-EL Moderator Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi @Rashmi If it is a standard root treatment, "just" drilling out/cleaning out/sealing the root channel and as long as no electrical currents are passing the body (e.g. no monopolar electrocautery) there are no contraindications for this treatment. Please check our information on medical procedures as well and share them with your dentist: https://www.medel.com/important-safety-information The audio processor should be taken off for the duration of the treatment. All the best for your child! Kind regards, Verena Jewel and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
