About the Procedure

What Is a Pulpectomy?

A pulpectomy is the complete removal of infected pulp tissue from a baby tooth — both the crown and the root canals — often described as a "baby root canal." It is performed when infection has progressed beyond the crown and into the root pulp itself.

By thoroughly cleaning and sealing the infected canals, a pulpectomy relieves pain, eliminates infection and preserves the tooth so it can continue functioning until it is naturally replaced by the permanent tooth.

Step-by-Step

How Pulpectomy Works

Examination & X-ray

We assess the extent of infection in the crown and root canals to confirm pulpectomy is needed.

Local Anaesthesia

The tooth and surrounding gum are gently numbed using child-appropriate anaesthesia techniques.

Complete Pulp Removal

Infected pulp tissue is removed from the crown and each root canal, and the canals are cleaned.

Canal Filling

The cleaned canals are filled with a resorbable, child-safe material suited for baby teeth.

Crown Placement

A stainless steel or tooth-coloured crown restores strength and protects the tooth long-term.

Treatment Options

Types of Pulpectomy

Vital Pulpectomy

Performed when the pulp is inflamed but still has blood supply — typically less complex to treat.

Non-Vital Pulpectomy

Performed when the pulp has died from infection — requires thorough disinfection of the canals.

Single-Visit

Completed in one appointment for straightforward cases without heavy infection.

Two-Visit Treatment

Used for more infected cases, with a medicated dressing placed between visits to fully resolve infection.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A pulpectomy is the complete removal of infected pulp tissue from both the crown and root canals of a baby tooth — essentially the pediatric equivalent of a root canal treatment. It is used when infection has spread beyond the crown into the root pulp.

Pulpotomy removes only the infected pulp in the crown, leaving healthy root pulp intact. Pulpectomy removes pulp from the crown as well as the entire root canal system, used when the whole nerve is infected.

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia so your child feels no pain during treatment. It typically relieves the throbbing pain caused by the underlying infection.

Whenever possible, we try to save baby teeth because they hold space for permanent teeth and support normal chewing and speech. Early extraction can lead to crowding and shifting of adjacent teeth, so pulpectomy is preferred when the tooth can be saved.

Many cases are completed in a single visit. More complex or heavily infected cases may need two visits, with a medicated dressing placed in between to fully resolve the infection.

Pulpectomy typically costs ₹2,500-₹5,000, with a stainless steel crown adding ₹1,500-₹3,000 if needed. Call +91 99005 17699 for an exact quote after examination.
