Pulpectomy
What is Pulpectomy?
When Do You Need Pulpectomy?
- Severe tooth decay reaching the inner pulp
- Persistent toothache or night-time pain in a child
- Swelling or pus near a baby tooth
- Trauma or injury causing pulp exposure
- To preserve a primary tooth until it naturally sheds
- Tooth discoloration indicating nerve damage
- To prevent infection from spreading to surrounding teeth
Pulpectomy Procedure
Examination & X-ray
The dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray to check the extent of pulp infection.
Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed to make the procedure painless for the child.
Pulp Removal
Infected pulp tissue is removed from both the crown and roots of the tooth.
Cleaning & Filling
The canals are cleaned, disinfected and filled with a safe, resorbable material.
Crowning
The tooth is sealed and usually covered with a crown to protect it until the permanent tooth erupts.
