Pediatric Dental Pulpotomy

Pulpotomy: Saving Your Child's Smile

At A.L.L. About Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we're committed to preserving your child's dental health through advanced procedures like pulpotomy. This vital treatment involves removing inflamed pulp from a tooth's chamber, typically caused by deep cavities or bacterial invasion. Our goal? To save and restore your little one's affected tooth, ensuring their smile stays bright and healthy.

The procedure involves a topical anesthetic placed on the gum tissue where the lidocaine will be injected. Afterwards, the decay is removed from the tooth and the pulpotomy is performed. A medicated filling material is placed in the nerve chamber, this helps keep the nerve tissue in the root canals intact. After the pulpotomy is complete the tooth needs to be restored. Most often this is done with a crown. Here are some of the services our dental office offers:

• Specialized pediatric dental care
• Pulpotomy treatments
• Dental crowns
• Fluoride treatments

In addition to:

• Emergency appointments
• Bilingual services (English and Spanish)
• Welcoming environment for children
