These procedures relieve pain, salvage teeth, and prevent additional damage to the mouth.

Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment (known as “Endondontic Treatment”) involves the treatment of disease or injury to the dental pulp or ‘nerve in the tooth’. This nerve is located in the very centre of the tooth in a small narrow ‘canal space’ which extends from the crown to the tip of the root – the area inside the centre of each tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels that help nourish the tooth. If the nerve is injured or diseased then it can die and this often leads to sensitivity, toothache or a dental abscess. It can also lead to the tooth actually discolouring.
Root canal treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. It involves removing the damaged or dead nerve tissues and pus in the root canals of teeth that have become infected. The infected or dead tissue is cleaned away and the residual canal space is also cleaned and disinfected, and the root canal is prepared so that it can be sealed with a filling. The tooth can then be restored and can remain in function for many years provided there is sufficient sound tooth structure to support a new filling or crown.
If you need an endodontic re-treatment, it means that the previous root canal treatment failed or that symptoms persist.
Pulpotomy / Pulpectomy (kid)
During a pulpotomy, a dental professional removes the coronal pulp from a tooth, as the IJCMPH article reports. This is the pulp that sits within the main part of a tooth, above the gumline. Pulpotomies are completed on teeth that are still alive, meaning that they respond to temperature and have sensation and vascular flow. For the procedure to be successful, it’s important that there’s no abscess in the area, no spontaneous pain and no bone loss under the tooth. Often, pulpotomies are done in baby teeth with pulp damage, but they can also be conducted on permanent teeth with trauma or cavities that reach the pulp, according to a study in the Iranian Endodontic Journal.
A pulpectomy, in comparison, is a procedure that removes the pulp from all parts of a tooth, including pulp in the roots. As the IJCMPH article summarizes, this procedure is done on teeth that are no longer alive.
Pulpectomies can treat primary teeth with dead pulp or permanent teeth with infected pulp or abscesses. This procedure involves removing all the contents of the tooth’s inner chamber, and the goal is to clean the entire root canal to protect it from further infection.
