Dr. Shiva can help alleviate your child’s pain and restore the health of their tooth with a baby root canal or pulpotomy. A pulpotomy is a dental procedure performed when decay in a child's tooth reaches the pulp (nerve) tissue. The infected part of the nerve tissue within the crown portion of the tooth is removed to prevent further inflammation and the spread of disease (caries), ensuring the tooth is not necrotic (dead). This procedure is the best way to preserve the tooth until it naturally exfoliates. To learn more, schedule an appointment today by calling our office.
