Pulpotomy & Crown
Pulpotomy with crown placement is a specialized dental procedure commonly performed to treat decayed or infected teeth while preserving the healthy portion of the tooth. At Scope Dental Clinics, this treatment helps relieve pain, stop infection, and restore tooth function—especially in children.
What is a Pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is a dental procedure in which the infected or inflamed portion of the tooth pulp is removed while preserving the healthy pulp tissue. It is most commonly performed on primary (baby) teeth to save the tooth until it naturally falls out.
Why is a Crown Placed After Pulpotomy?
After pulpotomy, a dental crown is placed to protect the treated tooth from fracture and further decay. The crown restores strength, shape, and chewing function, ensuring long-term durability.
Benefits of Pulpotomy & Crown
Pulpotomy with crown helps relieve tooth pain, eliminate infection, preserve natural teeth, and maintain proper chewing and speech development—especially in children. It prevents premature tooth loss and supports healthy jaw growth.
