Pulpectomy 牙髓摘除术

Yesterday, I bought KV to dentist for a dental check-up. Because she always complaints that her got oral pain. In the afternoon, right after her mental & arithmetic examination, I bought her to dentist which was near the mental & arithmetic centre.

In the dental clinic, we were very luckily, because no other patient was there and after the registration, we straight entered the consultation room. Yesterday was a young and pretty female dentist on duty. KV pointed out the pain area and the dentist did an oral check on her. After checking, the dentist informed us that KV got a dead tooth and this caused oral infection.

The dentist recommanded two ways to solve the problem. (1) remove the dead tooth or (2) Pulpectomy. She advised pulpectomy is more suitable for children and no pain. The main reason I chose pulpectomy was NO pain. (so that I could easily handle KV... lol)

The dentist was very nice & pro. For every tool/equipment she used, she informed KV first and made some funny explanation so that KV won't afraid of all the tools. The whole treatment took about 20 mins and cost RM50.00 with free tooth-brush and tooth-paste (hihihi).

The explanation of pulpectomy:
The removal of necrotic pulp tissue followed by filling the root canals with resorbable cement.

Treatment Objectives for Primary Tooth Pulpectomy
• (1) Maintain the tooth free of infection,
• (2) Biomechanically cleanse and obturate the root canals,
• (3) Promote physiologic root resorption, and
• (4) Hold the space for the erupting permanent tooth.


Before the treatment, KV was rested on the treatment chair.
During the treatment, KV with a mouth wide opened.
The treatment almost finished. Poor KV, no mood at all.
