Pulpotomy Cost in India

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

A pulpotomy removes the inflamed top part of a tooth's pulp and keeps the healthy root pulp. It is mostly done on children's baby teeth. The cost depends on:

• Number of teeth
• Crown: a stainless-steel or tooth-coloured crown is often placed afterwards.
• Sedation: for anxious children.
• Clinic

Pulpotomy is a routine dental procedure priced per tooth. A quote near this range is unusual, so ask what it includes.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry explains:

• Pulpotomy: for baby teeth whose pulp is healthy or reversibly inflamed.
• Pulpectomy: removes all the pulp when it is irreversibly inflamed or dead.

The choice also depends on whether the tooth can be restored.

Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with chewing and speech. Losing one early can cause crowding later. A pulpotomy can keep the tooth until it falls out naturally.

The child may feel mild soreness for a day or two. Return to the dentist if swelling, pain or a gum boil appears, as this can mean the treatment has not worked.
