What happens during a pulpotomy?

In a pulpotomy, the dentist removes the diseased pulp tissue from the crown part of the tooth, leaving the root’s pulp intact. This procedure is common in pediatric dentistry to treat decayed baby teeth and protect the developing permanent teeth.

Understanding pulpotomies

Pulpotomies are treatments used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, preventing further decay and preserving the tooth’s structure. Pulpotomies are typically performed on children with baby teeth.

Recovery and aftercare

Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are crucial for the treated tooth’s longevity and overall oral health.

The importance of pulpotomies

Saving teeth, preventing complications.

Alleviate Pain: Pulpotomies effectively relieve pain caused by tooth decay or infection.
Prevent Tooth Loss: Treating the infection early can save the tooth from extraction.
Limit Spread of Infection: Removing infected tissue prevents an abscess from developing.
Restore Function: A treated and restored tooth prevents shifting and drifting of theeth.
Maintain Oral Health: Preserving the natural tooth helps maintain the overall health of your mouth and jaw.
