Pulpotomy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A pulpotomy is a dental procedure that consists of removing the upper portion of the pulp of a tooth affected by deep decay or trauma, preserving the healthy part and the tooth structure; it is frequently performed on baby teeth.
Why is it indicated? It seeks to control the inflammation or damage of the pulp when this does not involve the entire root, helping to keep the tooth in place.
Signs that may precede it: Dental pain, sensitivity to cold or heat, discomfort when chewing, or visible decay usually prompt the initial visit.
Which specialist performs it? It falls to the dentist and, in children, to the pediatric dentist. If you notice persistent dental discomfort, having it evaluated in a timely manner by a professional allows the most appropriate option for each case to be determined.
