There are times that a newly acquired permanent tooth needs some endodontic help. Whether it’s about a big cavity or perhaps an incompletely formed tooth, a pulpotomy may be just the right treatment. Removal of part of the nerve tissue, also known as the pulp, can often alleviate any symptoms while still allowing for tooth growth and formation.

Once the affected nerve tissue is removed, it’s sealed to promote healing of the remaining pulp so that you can plan to keep this tooth for a very long time.
