Pulpectomy

Before Treatment

• A pediatric dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.
• Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.

During Treatment

• The decayed portion of the tooth is removed.
• The infected pulp inside the root canals is cleaned out.
• The canals are disinfected and filled with a child-friendly material.
• A dental crown is placed for protection and durability.

After Treatment

• The child may experience mild sensitivity, which subsides within a few days.
• The treated tooth remains in place until it naturally falls out.

Aftercare & Recovery

• Encourage gentle brushing and flossing.
• Avoid sticky or hard foods that may damage the treated tooth.
• Follow up with routine dental check-ups to monitor healing.
• Use pain relievers if mild discomfort occurs (as advised by the dentist).
• Ensure good oral hygiene to prevent future infections.
