A pulpectomy is a specialized dental procedure that we offer to comprehensively address issues affecting the pulp of a tooth while preserving its structure and function.
A pulpectomy is a dental procedure that involves the complete removal of the pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals of a tooth. This procedure is typically performed on primary (baby) teeth or permanent teeth when the pulp is severely infected or damaged.
Indications for Pulpectomy:
Severe Pulp Infection: When the pulp chamber and root canals are significantly infected, a pulpectomy is often recommended to prevent the spread of infection.
Trauma: Teeth that have experienced trauma, such as fractures or severe injury, may require a pulpectomy to address damage to the pulp.
Extensive Decay: If decay has penetrated deep into the pulp of the tooth, a pulpectomy may be necessary to remove the affected tissue.
