Pulpotomy treatments save damaged baby teeth, preserving oral health and allowing for proper dental development as your child grows.
A pulpotomy is a pediatric dental procedure used to treat tooth decay that has reached the pulp, or nerve, of a baby tooth. At Marigold Family Dentistry in Cypress, Texas, this treatment involves removing the infected portion of the pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. A pulpotomy helps preserve the tooth’s structure and functionality, ensuring proper chewing and space maintenance for permanent teeth. This procedure is often followed by the placement of a crown to protect the tooth. Pulpotomies are a safe and effective way to save baby teeth and support your child’s overall oral health.
A pulpotomy is a tooth-saving procedure, and Marigold Family Dentistry in Cypress, Texas, specializes in providing this gentle and effective treatment for children. When a cavity or decay reaches the pulp of a baby tooth, a pulpotomy removes the infected portion while preserving the healthy structure of the tooth. This ensures the tooth remains functional and holds its space until the permanent tooth is ready to emerge. Our team uses local anesthesia to keep your child comfortable during the procedure and explains everything in a way that helps them feel calm and reassured. The treated tooth is often capped with a stainless steel crown for added protection.
