If you’re looking for experienced kids’ dentists in Surrey for children’s root canal treatment, MyoKids in Weybridge can help. We offer cutting-edge paediatric dentistry, modern care and safe sedation options.
Root canals are recommended when infection or inflammation reaches the nerve inside a tooth, which can result from deep decay, cracks or an untreated cavity that has spread.
Root canals for children require patience, reassurance and careful planning – all aspects you can expect when treating your child’s teeth at MyoKids Dental, which offers a dedicated space for children, gentle communication, modern equipment and safe sedation options for nervous kids.
MyoKids, part of MyoDental, is proud to be an award-winning children’s dentist in Weybridge and is among one of the highest-rated dental practices on Google in Surrey & SW London for providing gentle and affordable children’s dental treatments.
How MyoKids Dental can help save your child’s tooth:
Typically recommended when decay or infection is at the top part of the nerve, but the root canals are still healthy. Our children’s dentists will gently remove the infected tissue, clean and seal the tooth, and place a filling or crown on top to protect it.
Baby root canals, or pulp therapy, treat deeper infections. MyoKids treatment involves removing infected tissue, reducing pain or swelling, and protecting the tooth so it can keep functioning and hold space for the adult tooth underneath.
Treats an erupted adult tooth that has become infected because of decay, a crack, or trauma. Our dentists carefully clean the inside of the tooth and seal it to help save the natural tooth, relieve discomfort, and avoid extraction wherever possible.
Specialist dentist Dr Prajapati (GDC 206163) provides holistic general paediatric care at MyoKids Dental. For children who need root canal treatment, Dr Prajapati’s advice helps parents decide whether to save, restore, monitor, or treat the tooth with an alternative solution.

My young son had struggled with other dentists and we had experienced numerous failed attempts to have required treatment completed elsewhere due to his anxieties. Our experience with MyoDental has been incredible. The care taken from all the staff to understand our circumstances, welcome him, make him feel at ease, build trust, etc. has been beyond our hopes and expectations. Michael's ability to communicate clearly during his appointments, address and empathise with my son's concerns, and encourage him to allow the treatment to be completed has been fantastic. Would very highly recommend, especially for any parents who have young children who are anxious of visiting dentists.Posted on Google![]()

We highly recommend Myodental, especially Dr Marshall’s expertise in holistic orthodontics. Our daughter, 11 at the time, had top and bottom overcrowding as well as an impacted canine. We were advised previously to remove 4 healthy teeth before braces, which we were quite reluctant to proceed with. Luckily, we found Dr Marshall who meticulously put together the best treatment plan for our daughter, including a Schwartz palatal expander (and without any unnecessary teeth extractions). 24 months later - a wide, beautiful, perfect smile. We are extremely happy with the results! Many thanks to the whole team!Posted on Google![]()

I was more than happy to travel all the way from Dorset for every appointment for my daughter. When you start doing research into the dental industry, it soon becomes apparent that not all professionals are created equal! I wanted to bring my daughter here because Michael is one of the few who truly takes in the bigger, holistic picture and not just 'straightening' teeth. He understands the importance of airway, bone formation, and over-all health. It was no surprise to me that MyoDental even have people travelling from abroad for Michael's services. Absolute professionalism and 5-star service from the team the whole way. My daughter loved going to her appointments!Posted on Google![]()

Delighted - four months on I have straight and tastefully whiter teeth. The process was surprisingly straightforward once you had got used to having the retainers in your mouth. You can see progress almost immediately. And the end result was impressive given that teeth start to meander when you get older. Michael is a delight to work with and his team patient. Their pricing is also transparent so there were no hidden charges which it always appreciated. Many thanks. P.s. my bite in back in the right place for the first time since I was a teenager.Posted on Google![]()

I had a hygiene appt today with Nicola and she was fantastic. I haven't had teeth so clean, with stains gently removed from coffee etc., in a long time. She was helpful and knowledgeable and took the time and care required to get my teeth in great shape, without causing me discomfort. I rarely think to leave reviews but I was so impressed with Nicola that I was motivated to take the time to do so.Posted on Google![]()

I had very bad overcrowding of my teeth, and I visited several clinics across London where everyone wanted to remove two teeth from the bottom to straighten them, which didn’t feel right to me. When I found Dr. Marshal, he was the only one who suggested expanding the jaw using ALF, with no need to remove any teeth. The whole treatment was excellent. Dr. Marshal was always kind and explained everything in detail. I felt very comfortable throughout all my appointments. The result is amazing - straight teeth and a beautiful smile. Thank you, I am very grateful for my smile! As a bonus, I also have a better jawline.Posted on Google![]()

I popped into MyoDental just to make a general enquiry and not only did I come out with some useful advice, but a hygienist appointment made for me two hours later. Very happy with the appointment and was very appreciative to the staff who didn't mind my fussy baby being in tow! It was a very welcoming practice and I plan to return.Posted on Google![]()

Dr Marshall was amazing fixing my son’s chipped tooth after 3 years and many refusals from others claiming he is too young to have it done. His first reaction was “what, so I can smile again?!” 🥹 Thank you, Dr Marshall for making this happen, your expertise and approachable made this experience a bliss.

Reviews
A child may need root canal treatment because of deep decay, tooth trauma, a cracked tooth, a dental abscess or an infection that has spread into the nerve of the tooth.
Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic so the tooth is numb during treatment. Sedation may also be discussed for very anxious children or more complex cases.
Not exactly. Baby teeth may need pulp therapy or a baby root canal, while adult teeth may need more traditional root canal treatment. Your dentist will explain which option is suitable after assessing the tooth.
It depends on the tooth, your child’s age, the level of infection and how soon the adult tooth is expected. Saving the tooth can help maintain space, but extraction may be preferable if it cannot be restored.
Sometimes. A tooth may need a crown after root canal treatment if it is weak, badly decayed or at risk of breaking. This is especially common for back teeth.
Signs can include toothache, swelling, pus, bad taste, fever, pain when biting, disturbed sleep or a small gum boil near the tooth.
Yes. MyoKids Dental is designed around children, with a dedicated children’s floor, gentle explanations and safe sedation options available when needed.
