A pulpectomy is a pediatric dental procedure that involves removing infected pulp from both the crown and roots of a baby tooth. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, Pulpectomy and filled with a child-friendly material to prevent further infection and maintain the tooth’s function.
Early treatment helps prevent infection from spreading and avoids premature tooth loss.
A pulpectomy is a safe, effective treatment that removes infected pulp from a child’s baby tooth to relieve pain and save the tooth. Often called a “baby root canal,” it preserves your child’s natural tooth until it’s ready to fall out on its own — protecting their bite, speech, and the spacing needed for healthy adult teeth.
When is a pulpectomy needed? It may be recommended when a baby tooth has deep decay or infection that has reached the pulp. Warning signs include a toothache, sensitivity, swelling, or a tooth that has become discolored. Treating it early stops the infection from spreading and helps avoid premature tooth loss.
