What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is a specialized pediatric dental procedure designed to save a baby tooth that is severely decayed or infected. This treatment involves removing the infected pulp tissue from the crown of the tooth while leaving the healthy pulp in the roots intact. A medicated dental filling is then placed to protect the tooth, followed by a dental crown to restore its function and provide added strength and durability. In some cases, space maintainers may also be recommended if the tooth cannot be saved, ensuring proper spacing for permanent teeth.
At Lakewood Kids Dentistry, our restorative dentistry approach focuses on preserving your child’s tooth until it naturally falls out, utilizing treatments like dental crowns to maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth and promote overall oral health.
