PULPOTOMY
Saves Infected or Decayed Tooth Pulp
Pulpotomy is a dental procedure designed to treat tooth decay that has reached the pulp (the innermost part of the tooth) without removing the entire tooth. By carefully removing only the infected portion of the pulp, the healthy part is preserved, which helps maintain the natural tooth structure and function.
Relieves Pain and Prevents Further Infection
This treatment effectively relieves tooth pain caused by decay or infection. By cleaning out the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, pulpotomy prevents bacteria from spreading deeper into the tooth or surrounding areas, reducing the risk of abscesses and more serious dental problems.
Promotes Long-Term Tooth Health
After a pulpotomy, the tooth is usually restored with a crown or filling, ensuring it remains strong and functional. This treatment helps children and adults retain their natural teeth, supporting proper chewing, speech, and jaw development, while avoiding the need for extraction whenever possible.
