PULPOTOMY
A pulpotomy is when the inflamed pulp chamber, usually on a baby molar, is removed, the area is sterilized, and the chamber is sealed. It is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal, but it’s not really a root canal and it can be done is some cases in permanent teeth. It is a very common procedure in children and has a reasonably good prognosis of success.
We cannot express enough how important it is to see your dentist regularly.
Remember, preventing disease is always better than treating disease.
