What is a Pulpectomy?
As a parent, you want the best for your child, and we are here to provide the highest quality dental care tailored specifically for children. One of the services we offer is pulpectomies, a specialized dental procedure that can help restore and preserve your child’s oral health. Let’s delve into what pulpectomies are and how we can help.
A pulpectomy is a dental procedure often recommended for children with severe tooth decay or infection that has reached the pulp, the innermost part of the tooth. This treatment is similar to a root canal for adults but is specifically designed for primary (baby) teeth. During a pulpectomy, our skilled pediatric dentist will remove the infected or decayed pulp, clean and disinfect the area, and then fill and seal the tooth with a special material. This procedure eliminates pain, prevents the spread of infection, and preserves the primary tooth until it naturally falls out.
