Pulpotomy

At Pediatric Dental Associates, a pulpotomy—often called a baby root canal—is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that treats baby teeth affected by deep decay or injury. During treatment, our pediatric dentists remove the damaged pulp, place a medicated filling to protect the healthy tooth structure, and help preserve the tooth until it's ready to fall out naturally.

Comfortable Care for Healthy Smiles

Most pulpotomies are completed in a single visit using local anesthesia to keep your child comfortable throughout the procedure. After treatment, we'll provide simple aftercare instructions—including monitoring your child while the area is numb—to support proper healing and help maintain a healthy smile.
