Dealing with Tooth Pain from a Deep Cavity?

Pulpotomy vs. Root Canal: Which One is Right for You?
Not sure whether you need a pulpotomy or a root canal? Both treatments remove infected pulp, but they are suited for different situations. A pulpotomy is often performed on children or young teeth where only part of the pulp is infected. A root canal is performed on older teeth with more extensive damage. Our dentists will help determine which treatment is best for you based on your tooth’s condition.
