Preserve the Healthy Part of Your Tooth

A pulpotomy is a conservative endodontic procedure that removes the inflamed or infected pulp from the crown of a tooth while preserving healthy pulp tissue within the roots. It can help relieve discomfort and protect the remaining healthy tooth structure when appropriate.

At Admire Endodontics of Manvel, we carefully evaluate each tooth to determine whether pulpotomy is an appropriate treatment option. Our goal is to provide precise, comfortable care while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Q1. What is a pulpotomy?

A pulpotomy is a procedure that removes inflamed or infected pulp tissue from the crown of a tooth while preserving healthy pulp tissue in the roots when possible.

A pulpotomy may be considered when the pulp in the crown becomes inflamed or infected but healthy tissue remains within the root portion of the tooth.

Local anesthesia is used to keep the treatment comfortable. Some tenderness may occur afterward, depending on the condition of the tooth.

No. A pulpotomy removes the affected pulp from the crown while attempting to preserve healthy pulp in the roots. A traditional root canal involves cleaning and filling the entire root canal system.

When appropriate, pulpotomy can help preserve the natural tooth and maintain its function while treating the affected pulp.
