Pulpotomy Treatment

A pulpotomy is a common procedure performed by endodontists to help preserve a tooth affected by extensive decay or injury. It involves removing a portion of the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth, to reduce infection risk and support the health of the remaining tooth structure.

A pulpotomy is often recommended for children as a conservative option before a full root canal treatment is needed. The goal is to relieve discomfort, manage inflammation, and help maintain the tooth when appropriate.

After a pulpotomy, the tooth may be sensitive for a short time. Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions and guidance on what to expect as the tooth heals.

We will also send a detailed report to your general dentist or pediatric dentist so they can coordinate any recommended next steps, which may include a final restoration to protect the tooth and support long term function.
