Protect Tiny Smiles: Pulp Therapy for Milk Teeth

👶 What Is Pulp Therapy?

Pulp therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged dental pulp — the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.

In children, tooth pulp can become infected due to:

• Deep cavities or tooth decay

• Trauma or injury to the tooth

• Cracks or fractures in the enamel

Unlike extraction, pulp therapy allows the dentist to save the natural tooth, keeping the dental structure intact and avoiding complications with permanent teeth later on.

🧭 When Is Pulp Therapy Needed?

Pulp therapy may be recommended if your child experiences:

• 🦷 Tooth pain, especially at night

• 🩺 Sensitivity to hot or cold food

• 🩹 Swelling or redness around the affected tooth

• 😢 Difficulty chewing

• 🦷 Deep cavities close to the pulp

Early diagnosis makes the treatment more comfortable and helps avoid unnecessary extractions. That’s why regular dental check-ups are essential.

🦷 Types of Pulp Therapy

1. Pulpotomy (Partial Pulp Removal)

This is performed when the pulp in the crown (upper part of the tooth) is infected, but the pulp in the root is still healthy.

• Removes the infected portion only

• Preserves the remaining pulp

• The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown

👉 Ideal for early-stage infections.

2. Pulpectomy (Complete Pulp Removal)

This is performed when the entire pulp (crown and root) is infected.

• All infected pulp is removed

• The root canal is cleaned and filled with a safe, resorbable material

• The tooth is then sealed and restored

👉 Recommended for more advanced infections to save the tooth and prevent spread of infection.

🌿 Why Saving Milk Teeth Matters

Even though milk teeth fall out eventually, keeping them healthy until their natural shedding time is essential.

Here’s why:

• 🦷 Prevents misalignment: Early tooth loss can cause shifting of nearby teeth, affecting permanent teeth.

• 🧸 Improves chewing and speech: Children need strong teeth for proper development.

• 🪥 Reduces risk of infection: Treating infections early avoids complications.

• 😊 Promotes confidence: A healthy smile builds self-esteem.
