What is a Pulpotomy?
At Little Roots Pediatric Dental, we understand how important it is to maintain your child’s oral health, and one way we can help is through pulpotomies. This procedure helps save decayed or infected primary (baby) teeth, preserving your child’s smile. Let’s take a closer look at what a pulpotomy is and how we can support you and your child.
A pulpotomy is a dental treatment used for primary teeth with significant decay or infection. The procedure involves removing the infected part of the tooth’s pulp, the inner area containing nerves and blood vessels. Unlike a pulpectomy, which removes all the pulp, a pulpotomy preserves the healthy pulp tissue, allowing the tooth to remain functional until it naturally falls out. After the infection is removed, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further decay and infection.
