Pulpotomy

What are Pulpotomies?

When a baby tooth has a very large cavity or has a large fracture, dentists will often recommend a pulpotomy. The pulp of the tooth is a skin like material inside of the tooth that has nerves, blood vessels and tooth building tissue. A pulpotomy (or removal of pulp) helps to maintain the baby tooth for a longer period of time. After a pulpotomy, the tooth is usually covered with a crown. These are often referred to as baby nerve treatments of baby root canals.
