What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is an endodontic procedure that is most often performed on deciduous (baby) teeth. This pulp treatment is needed when deep tooth decay reaches the pulp inside of the affected tooth, causing an infection called pulpitis. Pulpotomies are a form of pulp therapy commonly used in clinical pediatric dentistry to preserve primary teeth until they naturally fall out.
