Pulpectomy Cost in India

The cost of Pulpectomy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A pulpectomy removes all the infected pulp from the crown and roots of a tooth, then cleans and fills the canals. It is most often done on children's milk teeth. In permanent teeth the same process is called root canal treatment. The cost depends on:

• Tooth: front or back tooth.
• Crown: a stainless steel or tooth-coloured crown is often placed afterwards on milk teeth.
• Sedation: for anxious children.

Pulpectomy is a routine dental procedure priced per tooth. If your quote is near this range, check what it includes.

• Pulpotomy: removes only the pulp in the crown, when the roots are healthy. See the pulpotomy page.
• Pulpectomy: removes pulp from the crown and roots when infection has spread.
• Extraction: an alternative if the tooth cannot be saved.

Milk teeth hold space for adult teeth and help chewing and speech. Losing one early can cause crowding. Saving an infected milk tooth with a pulpectomy keeps the space until the adult tooth comes through.

Like root canal treatment, the tooth is numbed, the pulp removed, the canals cleaned and sealed (NHS 111 Wales describes this process). Children may feel mild soreness for a few days. Follow-up checks make sure the tooth stays healthy.
