A pulpectomy, also known as a baby root canal, is a dental procedure primarily performed on primary (baby) teeth to preserve them when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or damaged due to decay or trauma. It involves removing all the pulp tissue from the tooth, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.
Yes! Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing at home can’t get rid of. They also help catch small problems before they become big (and expensive!) ones. Think of it like a tune-up for your mouth.

Change your toothbrush (or electric brush head) every 3 months—or sooner if the bristles look worn. A frayed brush doesn’t clean as well and can be tough on your gums.
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing. Bad breath and loose teeth are also warning signs. If you’re unsure, it’s best to get checked—early treatment makes a big difference.
