Pulpectomy PDF Print E-mail
Also known as a partial root canal, the pulpectomy is a procedure that involves completely removing the pulp and root canal, usually done on a primary tooth. If the decay is deep enough, the tooth will abscess and this is normally when a pulpectomy is recommended.

Treatment normally takes one visit and is strongly recommended when the child’s toothache pain is mild. That’s why it is important to see Dr. Vafa even if the child is experiencing only the smallest toothache.
 

Your Child First Visit

According to both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and Dr. Vafa, your child should visit the dentist by their 1st birthday. The first visit is more informative and “get to know” for both you and your little one. We provide your child with fun dental activities, and Dr. Vafa and his team will visually exam your child and explain everything you need to know to get your child started on the right path to great oral health. The first visit can truly be a great experience!

Primary Teeth

Although primary teeth, or baby teeth, fall out, it is important to maintain their health. Problems with primary teeth lead to problems with baby teeth, so proper oral hygiene must be maintained and cavities of primary teeth dealt with. Primary teeth ensure proper chewing and eating, provide space for the permanent teeth and guide them into the correct position, and permit normal development of jaw bone and muscles.
