Baby Tooth Nerve Treatment

When a cavity on a baby tooth advances to the vital structures of the tooth, a procedure called a pulpotomy is commonly performed.  This procedure removes the inflamed portion of the nerve only, and allows for retaining the uninfected portions of the baby tooth nerve so that it can heal.  A pulpotomy is an important clinical dental procedure that allows pediatric dentists to save baby teeth as natural space maintainers by avoiding an extraction (pulling the tooth).

Our Technique: The Success Story

In the last ten years we have completed hundreds of pulpotomies, and are proud that our cases have lasted the test of time: baby teeth exfoliate naturally and maintained the required space without any need for further treatment.  Our strict protocol allows for predictable results and successful outcomes.

Should your child require a pulpotomy to treat a symptomatic baby tooth, our doctors will review the entire procedure with you as well as the various restorative options.
