Pulp treatment, also known as pulpotomy or pulpectomy, is a dental procedure aimed at treating issues affecting the inner part of the tooth, known as the pulp. During pulp treatment, the dentist removes infected or damaged tissue from the tooth’s pulp chamber to alleviate pain and prevent further damage. This procedure helps preserve the tooth’s structure and function, promoting long-term dental health in children.
