Pulpotomies in Houston TX
At Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry Houston, we specialize in child-focused dental care, offering expert pulpotomies in Houston for kids. Our pediatric dentist ensures your child receives the best dental services to protect their growing smiles and preserve their oral health.
What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is a dental procedure commonly performed in pediatric dentistry to treat tooth decay or infection that has reached the pulp, the innermost part of a tooth. Unlike a root canal, which removes the entire pulp, a pulpotomy only removes the infected part of the pulp in the crown of the tooth, leaving the healthy root pulp intact. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to preserve the primary (baby) teeth until they naturally fall out and the permanent teeth erupt.
At Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry Houston, our specialized pediatric dentist in Houston are highly trained in performing pulpotomies. We use child-friendly techniques and advanced technology to ensure a painless and smooth process for your child, focusing on maintaining their natural smile for as long as possible.
