GENERAL DENTISTRY/PULPOTOMY FOR KIDS

Pulpotomy For Kids in San Antonio, TX

When decay reaches the inner pulp of a child's tooth, a pulpotomy; often called a baby tooth root canal — can save the tooth and prevent further infection while preserving space for the permanent tooth developing underneath. At Floss & Gloss Dental, we perform gentle pulpotomy procedures for children, removing the affected pulp tissue while leaving the healthy root intact. Our child-friendly team on Culebra Rd makes the entire experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible, using kid-friendly language, compassionate care, and appropriate anesthesia to keep little ones at ease. Preserving primary teeth matters; and we're here to help.

OUR PULPOTOMY FOR KIDS SERVICES

Our pulpotomy services include thorough pulp evaluation, infected pulp tissue removal, medicament placement, stainless steel or tooth-colored crown placement to protect the treated tooth, and follow-up monitoring at our Culebra Rd office.

  • Pulp examination
  • Local anesthesia
  • Coronal pulp removal
  • Hemostasis
  • Medicament application
  • Restoration placement

OUR PULPOTOMY FOR KIDS BENEFITS

  • Preserves Tooth - Pulpotomy preserves the natural tooth and allows it to continue developing.
  • Conservative Treatment - It's less invasive than a full root canal while still treating the problem.
  • Prevents Extraction - Pulpotomy prevents the need for tooth extraction in many cases.
  • Preserves Bite - Keeping the natural tooth preserves proper bite alignment.

Everything about Floss & Gloss is absolutely wonderful! Booking appointments is easy and they offer times that are convenient for me. Dr. Ahmed explained the treatment plan and was very patient with my anxiety about dental work from the very beginning. I felt comfortable, heard, and supported throughout my treatment. I also enjoyed our modern facility and found the front office team to be very helpful. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for dental care in San Antonio.

I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed and his entire team! From the moment I walked in, the receptionist was welcoming and professional. Everything was explained thoroughly, and they walked me through every step of my procedure today. Madeline has excellent bedside manner and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Ahmed made the procedure quick, smooth, and painless, which I truly appreciated. Thank you, Dr. Ahmed, and the entire staff for such a great experience. I will definitely be bringing my family here moving forward. Highly recommended!!

Where do I begin? The VA... there's not enough words to explain the disappointment I've experienced and the predicament I was left in. Long story short, my job requires a lot of patient interaction and for the past 9 months, I was embarrassed to smile, let alone talk. I refused to wait 2 years until receiving the planned implants with the VA, so I went another route. Dr. Ahmed heard my worries and heard what I hated and feared the most. With that being said, you never tried to upsell me on services I didn't need or persuade me in another direction. The partial that the VA left me with spoke for itself. I hated my smile. Day of extraction, my anxiety was at its utmost high. I am so grateful for Dr. Ahmed and the lovely assistant who took their time to help me calm down. They constantly checked on me throughout the procedure and communicated what they were doing before even doing it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My partial, I LOVE IT! They did such an amazing job and my teeth were finally aligned! What the VA messed up, they fixed in 1 visit. Thank you so much. I will be back soon!
