At KJS Dental Hospital, we specialize in advanced pulpectomy procedures to preserve your child’s primary teeth and ensure long-term oral health. Pulpectomy is a root canal treatment designed specifically for severely decayed or infected primary teeth. Our experienced pediatric dental team ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience using the latest techniques and gentle care.
What is a Pulpectomy?
A pulpectomy is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp tissue from a tooth’s root canals. This treatment is necessary when a cavity or trauma has caused an infection deep inside the tooth, leading to pain and potential damage to the surrounding teeth and gums.
Why is Pulpectomy Important?
- Prevents the spread of infection
- Relieves tooth pain and sensitivity
- Preserves the structure of primary teeth until they naturally fall out
- Supports proper speech development and chewing function
