Pulpectomy

A pulpectomy is a dental procedure that completely removes the pulp tissue from inside a tooth, including the pulp chamber and root canals. It is typically performed on teeth whose pulp is infected or irreversibly damaged, often due to advanced cavities, trauma, or infection.

Pulpectomy is a common treatment for infected or severely damaged teeth with the goals of relieving pain, eliminating infection, and preserving tooth structure and function. After a pulpectomy, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and have regular dental exams to ensure the long-term health and stability of the treated tooth.
