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.

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.
