PULPOTOMY:
WHAT IS PULPOTOMY?
A pulpotomy is a dental procedure in which the pulp of the tooth in the crown (the crown is the part of the tooth that is visible) is removed and the pulp in the root canal is left intact.
PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS:
What are sealants?
Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your teeth from tooth decay.
SPACE MAINTAINERS:
- When a child prematurely loses a primary tooth due to decay, disease, or damage, space maintainers are often used to keep the space open in the gums.
- Space maintainers also prevent overcrowding and misalignment as permanent teeth grow in.
BABY TOOTH EXTRACTIONS:
Baby teeth may need to be extracted if severely decayed or damaged due to an injury.
