Pulpotomies “Baby Root Canal” in columbia and cayce, SC

Hearing “root canal” can sound scary—but take a deep breath.  A pulpotomy (or “baby root canal”) is a gentile and common procedure designed to relieve pain and save your child’s tooth.  

When bacteria from a cavity reach the tooth’s nerve( called the pulp), part of the tissue needs to be removed to stop the infection and prevent further damage.  The area is then treated with medicine and covered with a stainless steel crown to protect the tooth.
