Pediatric Care: Pulpotomy and Stainless Steel Crowns

For our youngest patients, we focus on preserving the primary (baby) teeth until their natural exfoliation. Primary teeth have large pulp spaces, making them susceptible to rapid infection from decay.

• Pulpotomy: A procedure to remove infected pulp tissue from the chamber of a baby tooth to eliminate infection and pain.
• Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC): A highly durable, prefabricated nickel-chrome crown used to cover and protect a baby tooth, especially after a pulpotomy, ensuring it is strong enough to last until the permanent tooth erupts.
• SSCs provide necessary protection to weak and brittle tooth structure following pulp therapy.
• Crucial for maintaining space for permanent teeth and ensuring proper chewing function.
