A pulpotomy is when the inflamed pulp chamber, usually on a baby molar, is removed, the area is sterilized, and the chamber is sealed.
It is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal, but it’s not really a root canal and it can be done is some cases in permanent teeth.
It is a very common procedure in children and has a reasonably good prognosis of success. It’s also fairly easy to do in conjunction with associated procedures.
