A Parent’s Guide to Pulp Therapy for Children

When it comes to your child’s dental health, timely and comprehensive care is vital to ensuring their teeth remain healthy and functional. Dental pulp therapy, also referred to as “baby root canals” or “nerve treatments,” is one such procedure that may become necessary for your child. As part of our commitment to providing exceptional dental care for families in Newton, Massachusetts, Waban Dental Group – Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontic remains dedicated to educating and assisting parents in understanding the importance of preserving their child’s oral health through treatments like pulp therapy. Dental pulp therapy is a procedure performed on primary (baby) and young permanent teeth to treat infection or injury affecting the tooth’s dental pulp—the soft tissue found in the center of each tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Tooth decay, dental trauma, or other issues may cause injury to the pulp, resulting in infection, pain, and even abscesses if left untreated. Pulp therapy aims to save the affected tooth by removing the infected or injured tissue, thus preserving the tooth’s structure and function while preventing the spread of infection. The two most common types of pulp therapy for children are pulpotomy and pulpectomy. Pulpotomy involves removing the ...
