What is Pulpectomy?


Pulpectomy is one of the most common procedures done in the primary dentition i.e the deciduous teeth or the milk teeth. It is a common treatment for teeth that have been severely damaged by decay or trauma. Pulpectomy is a dental procedure that involves the removal of the pulp tissue from the inside of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue found in the centre of a tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and lead to serious dental problems.

When Should You Go for Your Kids' Pulpectomy?


A pulpectomy for kids is recommended when a baby tooth has extensive decay or damage that has affected the pulp, the innermost layer of the tooth. It is typically recommended for children who are experiencing pain or swelling and may also be recommended for baby teeth with a history of recurrent infections.

Classic Signs that Your Kids Need Pulpectomy


Severe tooth pain

If your child is complaining of severe tooth pain that is not relieved by over-the-counter pain medications, it may be a sign that their tooth pulp is inflamed or infected.

Swelling or redness in the gums

In some cases, an infected tooth can cause swelling or redness in the gums surrounding the affected tooth.

Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks

If your child is experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, it may be a sign that their tooth pulp is inflamed or infected.

Darkening of the tooth

If your child's tooth has become discoloured or has developed a dark spot, it may be a sign that the tooth pulp is damaged or dying.

Procedure for Pulpectomy


The procedure is typically performed on baby teeth or permanent teeth that have not yet fully developed. Here are the steps involved in a pulpectomy procedure:

  • Anaesthesia: The dentist will first administer local anaesthetic to numb the affected area.
  • Access: Once the area is numb, the dentist will make a small hole in the top of the tooth to access the pulp tissue.
  • Removal of Pulp: The dentist will use specialised tools to carefully remove all of the pulp tissue from inside the tooth. This process may take several minutes and involve cleaning the root canals.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection: Once the pulp tissue has been removed, the dentist will clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth to remove any remaining bacteria.
  • Filling: The tooth will then be filled with a material called gutta-percha, which helps to seal the tooth and prevent further infection.
  • Crown or Filling: In some cases, a crown or other type of restoration may be needed to restore the tooth's function and appearance.
