Pulpectomy

Save Infected Baby Teeth

When your child’s tooth is infected, every hour matters.
A pulpectomy stops the pain and saves the smile.

Save the Tooth. Stop the Pain. Protect the Future.

A pulpectomy is a gentle, pediatric dental procedure used to treat infected or abscessed baby teeth. At The Dental Studio in Kingston, we perform pulpectomies to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out. This prevents premature tooth loss, maintains bite alignment, and protects developing permanent teeth.

Think of it as a root canal for baby teeth — but faster, gentler, and designed for growing smiles.

What Is a Pulpectomy?

Services

A pulpectomy is a procedure where infected pulp tissue is removed from both the crown and roots of a baby tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting, the canals are filled with a resorbable material, and the tooth is sealed with a crown or filling.

If your child has pain, swelling, or trouble sleeping from a tooth
— this may be the treatment that stops it all.

When Does a Child Need a Pulpectomy?

Services
  • Common Signs of Need:
  • Lingering toothache or pain that wakes them at night
  • Swelling or pus near the gumline
  • Sensitivity to temperature or sweets
  • Deep decay visible on X-rays
  • Dental abscess or sinus infection originating from a baby tooth

Every baby tooth holds space for a permanent one. Lose it too soon, and the whole mouth can shift.

Why Not Just Extract the Tooth?

  • While extraction is sometimes necessary, saving a baby tooth with a pulpectomy is often the better option. Why?
  • Maintains proper spacing for adult teeth
  • Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
  • Preserves chewing and speech function
  • Reduces need for orthodontics later

We handle it gently. You handle the comforting hugs.

What Happens During a Pulpectomy?

Services
  • Procedure Steps:
  • Numbing: We use topical and local anesthesia to ensure comfort
  • Cleaning: Infected pulp is removed from both crown and roots
  • Filling: Canals are filled with a resorbable, child-safe material
  • Restoration: The tooth is sealed with a crown or strong filling
  • Follow-Up: We monitor healing and development of permanent teeth

Most kids go back to school the same day. What they don’t bring back is the pain.

Aftercare & Recovery

Services
  • Aftercare Tips:
  • Mild soreness is normal for 24–48 hours
  • Soft foods for the first day
  • Keep brushing and flossing around the tooth
  • Watch for swelling, which should subside quickly
  • Regular checkups to monitor development
