About Pulpotomies

A pulpotomy (also known as a baby root canal) involved the surgical removal of the affected tooth’s pulp chamber. Children often experience infected/inflamed tooth pulps due to untreated decay and cavities. During the procedure, any bacteria and infection will be thoroughly removed from the pulp chamber, preventing new disease or damage.

Baby teeth are not as hard and healthy as adult teeth, and the nerve inside a baby tooth is closer to the outside, which is why children are often both more sensitive and susceptible to decay and tooth pain.
