What is a Pulpotomy?
If you’ve been told that you need a root canal, but for some reason, your dentist may recommend a pulpotomy or emergency root canal. It is defined as the removal of pain receptors in the tooth to ease the pain of an infected or traumatized tooth. It is like a partial root canal treatment that is done in emergencies to ease pain and buy time until you are able to get the full root canal completed.
What Can I Expect After My Pulpotomy?
Different people experience different things after pulpotomy treatment. You may experience soreness in the jaw, mild swelling, or discomfort.
What Can I do to Promote Healing After My Pulpotomy?
You should also avoid chewing on the affected tooth. If you are in pain, you can also take an anti-inflammatory such as Advil, unless you are allergic.
