Pulpectomy (Kids Root Canal)

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

1

Gentle administration of local anesthesia or safe sedation (Nitrous Oxide).

2

Removal of the infected pulp tissue from the crown and roots.

3

Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canals.

4

Filling the canals with a resorbable material that naturally dissolves as the permanent tooth erupts.

5

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
