Pulpectomy in Dubai

Pulpectomy

Clean & heal badly decayed baby teeth with care.

Experiencing tooth decay in children? A pulpectomy is a specialized dental procedure designed to save an infected primary tooth and prevent further complications.

  • Removes infection from the tooth’s root
  • Preserves the primary tooth until it naturally falls out
  • Prevents pain and further decay
  • Maintains proper alignment for permanent teeth
Pulpectomy is a dental treatment for children used to remove infected pulp from a primary tooth. It is necessary when deep cavities or trauma cause an infection that affects the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth.

How It Works:

  • The decayed pulp inside the tooth is removed.
  • The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a biocompatible material.
  • A dental crown is placed to restore strength and function.
This procedure helps maintain the affected tooth until it naturally falls out, ensuring proper spacing and alignment for permanent teeth.
  • Prevents the spread of infection
  • Relieves pain and discomfort
  • Avoids premature tooth loss
  • Supports healthy oral development
  • Preserves natural tooth function
  • Minimizes future dental complications
Children who experience:
  • Severe tooth decay that has reached the pulp
  • Dental trauma leading to nerve damage
  • Persistent pain due to an infected tooth
  • Swelling or abscess in the gum area
If the infection is severe and has already spread beyond the tooth, an extraction may be necessary instead.

Before Treatment

  • A pediatric dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.
  • Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.

During Treatment

  • The decayed portion of the tooth is removed.
  • The infected pulp inside the root canals is cleaned out.
  • The canals are disinfected and filled with a child-friendly material.
  • A dental crown is placed for protection and durability.

After Treatment

  • The child may experience mild sensitivity, which subsides within a few days.
  • The treated tooth remains in place until it naturally falls out.

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Encourage gentle brushing and flossing.
  • Avoid sticky or hard foods that may damage the treated tooth.
  • Follow up with routine dental check-ups to monitor healing.
  • Use pain relievers if mild discomfort occurs (as advised by the dentist).
  • Ensure good oral hygiene to prevent future infections.
