A pulpotomy removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s crown, preserving the remaining healthy structure and avoiding the need for extraction.
By treating the infected pulp, a pulpotomy alleviates pain and discomfort, allowing your child to eat, speak, and play comfortably again.
Removing the damaged pulp prevents the spread of infection to other teeth or areas of the mouth, protecting your child's overall oral health.
During the initial visit, the dentist evaluates the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of infection and determine if a pulpotomy is needed. The area is then numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure your child’s comfort.
The dentist carefully removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s crown, leaving the healthy pulp in the roots intact. The area is then cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a therapeutic material to protect the remaining healthy tissue.
To provide long-term protection, a crown is often placed over the treated tooth. The dentist will also provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure proper healing and the tooth’s longevity.
A pulpotomy is performed under local anesthesia, so your child will not feel any pain during the procedure. Our Houston team ensures your child’s comfort throughout the process and provides aftercare tips to ensure a smooth recovery.
