What is Pulp Treatment?

The pulp is the soft inner part of a tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When deep tooth decay or trauma reaches the pulp, it can cause pain, infection, and swelling.

Pulp treatment is performed to preserve a child's natural tooth whenever possible, relieve discomfort, and prevent the spread of infection. At The Little Smiles, Dr. Pratima Goswami provides child-friendly pulp therapy using modern techniques to restore oral health while maintaining the normal development of your child's smile.

Types of Pediatric Pulp Treatment

  • Pulpotomy: Removes the infected portion of the pulp inside the crown while preserving healthy root tissue.
  • Pulpectomy: Removes infected pulp from the entire tooth and fills the root canals with a child-friendly material.
  • Protective Restorations: Stainless steel crowns are often placed afterward to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.

Treatment Process

1. Comprehensive Examination

Clinical evaluation and digital X-rays help determine the extent of pulp infection.

2. Diagnosis & Treatment Planning

The appropriate pulp therapy is selected based on the condition of the tooth.

3. Gentle Pulp Therapy

The infected tissue is removed, the tooth is disinfected, and medicaments are placed to promote healing.

4. Tooth Restoration

A durable restoration, often a stainless steel crown, is placed to protect the treated tooth until it naturally falls out.
