If your child is suffering from a toothache, we can help with made-just-for-kids treatments like pulpotomies. Our team will be able to get your child out of pain and restore their dental health so they can get back to laughing and smiling quickly.
Pulpotomies are an alternative to pulpectomies (root canals) in kids who have infected baby teeth. Tooth infections can cause your child lots of pain, sensitivity, and discomfort. With a pulpotomy from a pediatric dentist, you can protect their oral health, restore their smile, and set them up for a lifetime of healthy grins.
Proper at-home oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and a healthy diet can eliminate the risk of cavities and tooth infections in kids of all ages.
Get your little one started on the path to a lifetime of good oral care habits with a free first visit. This special is good for patients under the age of 3, so be sure to bring your child by soon!

Often called a baby root canal. When decay reaches the nerve, we remove the infected portion in the crown of the tooth, disinfect it, and seal it — usually finishing with a crown.
Losing a baby tooth early lets neighboring teeth drift into the space, which crowds the adult tooth. Saving the tooth preserves that space naturally.
The tooth is numbed completely, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Most children feel better afterward, since the pressure and pain from the infection are gone.
Usually about an hour, including the crown. We'll tell you at the exam whether it can be done the same day.
If the nerve is infected all the way to the root, an extraction with a space maintainer is the safer choice. We'll explain the X-ray findings and your options.
