PULPOTOMY IN NORTH MIAMI & PLANTATION FL

If the cavity is deep and the bacteria have invaded the nerve tissue (pulp) of the tooth, we must clean the nerve tissue to prevent an infection and abscess. After removing all the decay and infected pulp, a filling material is placed to soothe the remaining pulp tissue. Placement of a stainless steel crown is essential to maintain the tooth’s structural integrity. Placing a white filling after a pulpotomy may result in fracture of the tooth.
