Does Your Child Need A Pulpotomy?




When your son or daughter visits the dentist it can be scary for them, especially if they are in pain and require a more extensive dental procedure. While the pain and procedure may be scary to your child, the cost may be making you sweat. Prior to having your child get a pulpotomy or root canal read this article to know if they really need one. Here are 3 reasons why your child may need a pulpotomy.

When first presented with the problem, you may think your child’s tooth is going to fall out anyway. If they are going to lose the tooth, do they really need a root canal? Removing a child’s tooth can cause problems with speech and eating later on. This procedure can save the tooth and allow your child to resume normal eating patterns.

If the cavity in the tooth is large and the decay is causing pain, the root needs to be cleaned out in order to remove the problem. Decay left in the tooth will continue to create pain and problems for your child. Decay left untreated can spread to other teeth causing even more problems later on and is generally a reason why kids miss school.

Don’t leave your child exposed to problems. Contact Dr.Fuller & his team today for more information.
