Pulpectomy in Mississauga – Gentle Care for Infected Baby Teeth

What is a Pulpectomy?

A pulpectomy is a pediatric dental procedure that involves removing infected pulp from both the crown and roots of a baby tooth. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a child-friendly material to prevent further infection and maintain the tooth’s function.

When Does Your Child Need a Pulpectomy?

  • Severe tooth decay in baby teeth
  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Swelling or infection around the tooth
  • Abscess or pus formation
  • Injury causing pulp damage

Early treatment helps prevent infection from spreading and avoids premature tooth loss.
