Pulp Treatment

Pulp Treatment for Pediatric Dentistry:

The dental pulp, a vital component nestled within the core of the tooth, serves as a hub for nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. This delicate tissue plays a pivotal role in maintaining the tooth's health and functionality. However, when the pulp succumbs to infection or damage, often stemming from decay or injury, prompt intervention becomes imperative. This is where specialized pulp treatments like pulpotomy and pulpectomy come into play, serving as crucial procedures to salvage the tooth and stave off potential complications.

Pulpotomy

Procedure Overview:

• A pulpotomy involves the removal of the infected or damaged portion of the pulp, typically limited to the crown of the tooth.
• The affected area is meticulously excised, leaving the healthy pulp within the root canals untouched.
• Following the removal, the treated space is filled with a medicated substance to encourage healing and prevent the spread of infection.

Purpose:

• Preservation of the remaining healthy pulp tissue.
• Alleviation of pain and discomfort associated with infection.
• A strategic measure to avert the necessity for a complete pulp removal (pulpectomy) and maintain the structural integrity of the tooth.

Child-Focused Approach:

• Dental Square prioritizes a child-friendly atmosphere during pulpotomy procedures.
• Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the comfort of the young patient throughout the process.
