A pulpectomy is a dental procedure that consists of removing the internal tissue, or pulp, of an affected tooth and cleaning the canal, in order to preserve the tooth. It is frequently performed on baby teeth.
When is it considered? With persistent dental pain, marked sensitivity, or an infection that compromises the pulp of the tooth.
Who performs it? The dentist evaluates each case, and the pediatric dentist is the ideal professional when it involves the teeth of children. Seeking care at the first sign of discomfort allows the available options to be reviewed with professional guidance.
