What is a Pulpotomy?

We understand the importance of maintaining your child's oral health, and one of the services we offer is pulpotomies. This specialized dental procedure can help preserve your child's smile by treating and saving decayed or infected primary teeth. Let's explore what pulpotomies are and how we can assist you and your child.


A pulpotomy is a dental procedure commonly performed on primary (baby) teeth that have extensive decay or infection. It involves removing the infected portion of the tooth's pulp, the innermost part that contains nerves and blood vessels. Unlike a pulpectomy, which removes the entire pulp, a pulpotomy aims to preserve the healthy part of the pulp to allow the tooth to continue functioning until it naturally falls out. Following the removal of the infected tissue, the tooth is filled and sealed with a special material to prevent further decay and infection.
