Schedule a Consultation
Treatment Overview
A pulpectomy is a highly specialized procedure designed to save a severely decayed or infected baby tooth. Unlike a traditional root canal, this is specifically adapted for primary teeth to ensure the underlying permanent tooth develops correctly without infection.
The Process
Gentle administration of local anesthesia or safe sedation (Nitrous Oxide).
Removal of the infected pulp tissue from the crown and roots.
Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canals.
Filling the canals with a resorbable material that naturally dissolves as the permanent tooth erupts.
Placing a custom crown to protect the restored tooth.
Key Benefits
Relieves immediate pain and discomfort
Prevents premature tooth loss
Maintains proper spacing for permanent teeth
Stops the spread of infection
