Pulpotomy is a procedure that removes the infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside a tooth. It is most commonly performed when decay has reached the inner part of the tooth but the roots remain healthy.
At FG Cosmo Dental, we perform pulpotomy with local anaesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout. Our goal is always to preserve your natural tooth wherever possible.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment is faster, simpler, and less costly.
Persistent or intense toothache that does not go away on its own.
Decay that has reached the inner part of the tooth and infected the pulp.
Sharp or lingering pain when eating or drinking hot and cold foods.
Swelling or tenderness in the gum near a tooth can indicate an infection.

Pulpotomy targets the source of the pain directly, providing fast and lasting relief.
By removing infected tissue, treatment can help reduce the chance of bacteria spreading further.
Preserving your natural tooth avoids the need for extraction and maintains your smile.
Once treated, the tooth can function normally — you can eat and bite without discomfort.
Early pulpotomy treatment significantly reduces the likelihood of needing the tooth removed.
Keeping your natural teeth contributes to better jaw structure and overall oral health.
The tooth is examined and X-rays taken to assess the extent of infection and confirm pulpotomy is suitable.
The area is numbed so you feel no pain during the procedure.
The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth's inner chamber.
The tooth is sealed and, where needed, a crown is placed to protect and strengthen it.
Same-day appointments often available. Book a free consultation at FG Cosmo Dental, Karachi.
No. The tooth is numbed before treatment so the procedure is comfortable throughout.
In many cases, a crown is recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth afterwards.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day with only mild sensitivity for a short period.
